*                bbox.c
*
*  This module implements the bounding box calculations.
*  This file was written by Alexander Enzmann.    He wrote the code for
*  POV-Ray's bounding boxes and generously provided us these enhancements.
*  The box intersection code was further hacked by Eric Haines to speed it up.
*
*  Just so everyone knows where this came from, the code is VERY heavily
*  based on the slab code from Mark VandeWettering's MTV raytracer.
*  POV-Ray is just joining the crowd of admirers of Mark's contribution to
*  the public domain. [ARE]
*
*  from Persistence of Vision(tm) Ray Tracer
*  Copyright 1996 Persistence of Vision Team

*  NOTICE: This source code file is provided so that users may experiment
*  with enhancements to POV-Ray and to port the software to platforms other
*  than those supported by the POV-Ray Team.  There are strict rules under
*  which you are permitted to use this file.  The rules are in the file
*  named POVLEGAL.DOC which should be distributed with this file. If
*  POVLEGAL.DOC is not available or for more info please contact the POV-Ray
*  Team Coordinator by leaving a message in CompuServe's Graphics Developer's
*  Forum.  The latest version of POV-Ray may be found there as well.
*
* This program is based on the popular DKB raytracer version 2.12.
* DKBTrace was originally written by David K. Buck.
* DKBTrace Ver 2.0-2.12 were written by David K. Buck & Aaron A. Collins.
