I would like to display a polygon-surface model that could be larger than the
viewing volume.  However, if I turn depthcue mode on and draw the model, any
polygons crossing the front or back clipping plane are colored with the
brightest colors as specified by lRGBrange().

Does anyone have suggestions how I can eliminate this behavior?  I would be
happy if the polygons crossing the front clipping plane were colored the
brightest color, and ones crossing the back clipping plane were colored the
darkest.
