Good point, but I have a another problem I need the maximum point for, I
want to have different detailTextures, which are not to be drawn when they
are very far away.

But having spent some background thinking on the problem now, is it true
that the point(on the AABB) with maximum distance to the other point, is
always on one of the 8 vertices? Which means I only have to find out which
of the 8 vertices is most far away from the other point.
