Fixed bug discovered by Marcus Jacobs where oconv was dumping core when it was given too many modifiers. + +Fixed problem with rpict where it was drawing illum sources badly +even when they weren't all that small in the view. + +Added in(i) function to rcalc for more flexible channel evaluation. + +Replaced all calls to vfork() with regular fork() calls. + +Fixed bug in glarendx for dgr calculation with sources behind view. + +Added -p option to histo to print percentages/percentiles r.t. counts. + +Added a source occluder cache to accelerate shadow testing. This +can save up to 50% of the calculation time in scenes with many +light sources, especially ones containing large occluders. This +optimization may be tuned or switched off with the -DSHADCACHE=N +compile switch, where N is the resolution of the shadow cache, or +0 to disable it. Since this is purely a time vs. memory trade-off, +I decided not to make it a new command-line option.
