3D World

[Ethan Galstad]

There are some definite bugs in the CGI, which I must have created 
recently.  These include:

1) User-defined layout always failed, regardless of whether coords 
were specified or not
2) Z-coordinate in auto-layout modes was incorrectly taken from user-
supplied coords (if available)

Fixes for both of these issues are now in CVS, so you might want to 
give that a try.
