There's no such discontinuity in mine, because the bricks all use the same
area of the pigment, as with ABX's bricks.  If you wanted to do it without 
the repeating patterns, you could wrap my macro in pigment_pattern with a 
brick pigment of rgb 1 and a mortar pigment of rgb 0 and then use a 
pigment_map to apply the brick and mortar pigments you really want to use.

That, of course, requires MegaPOV... at least for now.
