I have definite plans to do that (and also to deal with the V-shaped
'wake' left by an object being dragged through the water) - the idea
would be to have new 'wave train' objects derived from the basic
wave train class - containing different 'update' methods.

The water model also needs it's own intersection test routines...the
present ones that it inherits from the vertex table class are
hopelessly inefficient.
