This permits ray trees to be parsed more easily in binary output mode, as needed by rtcontrib. + +Implemented Russian roulette ray termination with -lr <= 0. +Made -lr -10 the default in rtcontrib. + +Made rtcontrib -f option search RAYPATH directories. + +Made it so -o option of rtcontrib can pipe -o output to a command. + +Added -if and -of options to total for binary i/o (following rcalc mold). + +Switched default options in rtrace to use Russian roulette. (Rpict and rvu +still use biased ray termination.) + +Added rtcontrib -r option to recover partial output. + +Added -u rendering option for pure Monte Carlo sampling. +(Got rid of -DMC compile option, which this makes superfluous.) + +Changed -t option of rlam to accept strings as well as single characters. + +Fixed bug in rcalc with -l option where it would sometimes go into an +infinite loop. + +Fixed truly ancient bug in bounding box computation for cones, which +could (and did) cause missing segments.
