maybe the raytracing options could be put in their own sub-menu so most
people wouldnt have to deal with them, but the people that want to do
tracing can still have them.  i dont see any reason to just kill the code...
the people that do tracing usually dont mind recompiling fractint to fiddlewith
things.  and this is a lot easier than making custom scripts to make the
RAW triagle output useable...
maybe something useful would be a raw hightfield output type?  for the
tracers that cant read gif's for hightfields? (but i guess just using
piclab is also a possibility).  obviously specific hightfield output for
each raytracer would be nice, but that takes coding :) (which ones cant
input gifs for a hightfield besides rayshade?  rayshade is of course my
favorite..).
