Announcement text: <hr>FeatPost obtained a new macro to draw "spheroid"s which is based on the 
invariance of quadratic surfaces. Backward compatibility is maintained with the 
exception of the perspective macro "rp" which now depends on the global variable 
"MaxFearLimit". If your figures look odd, change the value of this variable to 
50 or more. Take a look at the example "revolipsoid.mp".
