Well, that's bad news, no to the volumetrics core, because they are
independent of the blender arquitecture, but for the shake of
integration...

But, hey!! It wont stop me, im sure there's a way to do that, everything
is posible with a blanc source file and a programing languaje (and time)
so if I dont find a method to determine ray travel distance between
phase/medium changes in objects I'll have to implement it.
     But now im focused on core technologies (shading/shadowing/compo ops)
 It seems that integration code will take some time. (thanks GSR)

 I'll ask it again: in orther to save time digging render code/making test
to see how a function work ill preciate any experienced contribution on
that part of the blender design. What i need is something like this:

 when user hit Render btn--call--->FUN1---call-->FUN2|--call->FUN4
                                       ---call-->FUN3|

   a diagram showing function calls.

   ------------------------------------------------
by the way, I found an issue with the SVN code downloaded : rendering a
full transparent cube with raytransp and stars bacground cause blender
crash
Any notice?
