Yes I did see the information, and thank you for providing it. :)

Outside of the FixedSimpleVector issue, I do really like glows, so i am giving
another shot at integrating that patch with 3.7. Of course, I fully expect to
run into the FSV limit if i succeed, just because this is something i want to
use lol. :p

I keep discovering that most of what i want to do in pov runs into one limit or
another...I guess thats just my luck. ;)
