chaotica fractal renderer

after many years of working on ad hoc flame fractal renderers, i've developed one with flam3/apophysis compatibility.

it aims to be faster and more efficient than flam3/apophysis, delivering much higher quality images with less noise in less time.

Oh dear, I hope it's not Unicode problems :? I knew these would happen, because I don't properly handle international strings... if possible, could you please see whether it works when extracted to eg. c:\chaotica (since this has no special characters in the path)? Would be much appreciated :)

It's running well here lycium... could we have more .flame files, the strange/complex cases ?

Any plans for an UI ? I'd feel smarter :/
