you're amazing, Alain :)

half an hour on this one on 4 cores of a i5.  But i think I should've added a
bit more radiosity samples:  count 8 error_bound 1 pretrace_end .003 :p

this is the kind of scene which is difficult to create with Blender.  you could
probably do it procedurally too, but the blender's python API is horrid when
compared to the relative simplicity of doing it with povray's SDL.

plus, as age goes I should be content of being a better programmer than I'll
ever be a 3D modeller :p
