BETATEST Bioform

The purpose of bioform is to make (what do you think ?) bioforms (similar to Form or the works 
of Latham and Tod). But also really bizar forms are creatable by it ( ... ) depending on the 
predefined segments/worms you use (this can be any predeclared object, e.g. Form-output).

For the time being bioform is still crude and by far not finished.
It is simple to use by me (I grew with it) but is this true for users who never used it before ?
(Tip : Print the pov form, so you always have an overview of the parameters at hand.)

The work starts by making a basic form, named a worm. This can be a predeclared object in the 
whole, or predeclares as the segments (for the time being there are two different segments 
possible), and then building up the worm using some values similar as in Form by Andy Rawbottom.
By then you can fan, wheel, trilobyt, anemone them in different ways depending on the values 
you use. All values are commented in what they do (I hope they are clear and selfexplanory !)

If you have trouble with your inspiration, there is at the bottom a random function that can 
give you really ashtonising results (hopefully there is a true random function in the next 
povray), or a start for thinkering with it (you can redirect the resulting randomvalues in a 
text-file for manual input later).

What's in the package :
bioform.pov => is the form where you fill out the params and values.
bioform.inc => the routines.
biopred.inc => some predefined objects for testing purposes.
biotex.inc => some custom colors, textures for testing.
example.povs => some examples.

What I ask you to do is :
Is it worth polishing it for publishing in the public domain ?
Criticice it thoroughly.
Comments, tips and ideas are also very welcome.
Lets see some work made by bioform.
