	POV is great, and so on... But I'm thinking of a more
	integrated solution with an LGPL license.  As a strong C++
	programmer, POV script tends to irritate me... :-)
	(It looks kindof like C, but isn't as sane as C, AFAIC)
	And I think it could add to the utility of OpenVRML lookat
	to have some direct "photo-real" output as an optional
	add-on.

	(BTW - I'm also on the Ray++ list...)
