Exporting generativedesign library sketch to PovRAY

Until I figure out how to do it better, here I use my povwriter version 0.80 library to export a processing sketch using the generativedesign library (http://www.generative-gestaltung.de) to PovRAY. This example is included with the generative design library, however I found I needed to define a constructor with a PApplet argument to get the sketch to run.....

Updated 19 May 2012, revised sketch to work with my latest version of my povwriter library (for processing-1.5.1)
