So, since I got the A* pathfinding algorithm to function, I figured that I ought
to have a maze generator to go along with it.

I got most of the thing coded and sort of working by last night, and then spent
~3h today after work trying to puzzle out where the rest of it was going wrong.

1. The &'s and |'s in POV-Ray's #if statements ALL get evaluated, so if you want
#if something
(then)
#if something else

then it needs to be coded that way instead of #if (S & SE)

2. I think I missed a few lines of code, because the guy's live-coding screen
real estate sucks, and he's really loosey-goosey with RT explanations, and
moving forward at a pretty good clip with the copy-paste

3. I believe that maybe the bitwise_and and bitwise_or may work differently in
POV-Ray than in c++, since I seemed to be getting cross-talk in the logic he was
using with the values 1, 2, 4, 8, and 10.
So I switched the last to 16 and all was well.

AFAIK, we don't have any base-conversion functions, keywords, or macros in the
distribution, and I could swear that I wrote some decimal to binary and back
conversion macros - but I can't find them and had to write another one from
scratch to verify the behaviours of the bitwise operators.

4. I had to write my own stack to push and pop from, and thankfully there wasn't
any dynamic resizing of the c++ "vector" he was using.
I also had trouble with the modulo method he was using to select a random
element of the vector, so I used RRand from rand.inc.

5. I'm still not sure how the algorithm "erases" walls, and if that's the issue
I'm having with the "islands" in the maze - drawing on a canvas and
instantiating primitives in 3D space are fundamentally different operations.

Anyway, here's a maze in a 50 x 50 grid.  Enjoy.

Could be cool to do some movie/video scenes featuring mazes
Labyrinth
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Hellbound: HellRaiser II
Katy Perry - Wide Awake
The Shining
Pan's Labyrinth

etc.
