Ah, apparently I wasn't clear enough in my quoted antecedent :) , I was 
referring to Peter's comment that he'd not seen anyone produce modules 
'from "thin air"', rather than to whether this could be solved in the 
general case.  I was backing him up in his assertion that there's no 
*general* way to solve the problem, rather than attempting to contradict 
him :)  (those Canucks get dangerous when contradicted).

If you mean you wanted to know how to do the module-from-thin-air thing, 
the code for mcf.vrml is available on sourceforge, so it's not like I'm 
hiding it ;) , but I doubt you'd want to use that particular pattern 
anymore :) .

Have fun,
Mike
