Thankyou,
this response is a much better answer then the unqualified "_no_" which I
recieved before.  I do understand why my comment recieved such negitive
responses, this is why I attempted to make my comments more of a topic for
intelligent discussion of the possability then a features request.  It
appears though that no one is currently open to or interested in discussing
this possability.

It is true that it would be arrogant to suggest in ignorance to the mechanic
how to do his or her job.  this stupid topic is taking up to much of my
time and yours.  The things done so far in Povray are amazing, and I am
certain greater things are planned in the future.  I would appreciate it if
no one else would reply to this post, and would continue on instead with
more important matters.
