Well, I didn't manage to find the program on the POV-Ray server when looking
through the usual groups, so I don't think I ever released it. But when looking
at the binary yesterday on my hard drive I decided to do a couple virus scans...
All was good on the Windows Defender front, but when I scanned it on VirusTotal,
one of its engines flagged it as malware :S Some kind of worm that uses shell
commands to work its malfeasance. I really don't believe it's infected, I just
think that the MaxSecure engine sometimes likes to throw false positives. But
it's enough to make me not want to publish it. After all, I did use a 3rd party
..obj-reading library. But what I think really happened is MaxSecure saw the
program's ability to take command line arguments and decided it was up to no
good. So, unless everyone's willing to take a risk, I'll be withholding it until
I can do a recompile using updated libraries. And if /that/ doesn't appease
MaxSecure, I'll try making the program read from a .cfg file instead of taking
command line arguments :|

Blobs, meshes, whatever. The material should work with anything.
