This scene was entirely handcoded, which makes for smaller and more
comprehensible source code + I like to work that way.

The main image was traced at 1280 x 960 pixels without anti_aliasing and
reduced to 640 x 480 using Picture Publishers SmartSizing, which has the
same effect as anti-aliasing but works better for narrow lines (starting
with 1920 x 1440 would be even better, but would have taken to much time
[more than 24h]). The small inset was traced in the normal way using
adaptive anti-aliasing. The grass was made more realistic using color
noise and motion blur, while the gravel road was made more realistic
using add noise.

I intended to use roof tiling made of short cylinders, but that turned
out to demand to much memory. I have left the definitions in the .pi
file in case anyone with lots of RAM wants to try it. (Anybody got a
couple of 16 MB SIMMs to spare?)
