[Therion] Therion 6.0.5 more on volume calculations

[Bill Gee]

A neat new feature!  Thanks!

However, I am reminded of the old adage - A man with one watch always know the 
time.  A man with two watches is never sure.

Using a rather simple 50 meter cave as an example, I now get four different 
calculated volumes.  Three of them are at least in the same ballpark, but one 
is about three to four times greater than the others.  

Compass = 5931.1 cubic feet
Loch LRUD volume = 3754.1 cubic feet
Loch Maps 3d = 6106.8 cubic feet
MeshLab = 586.9 cubic meters (20697.9 cubic feet)

MeshLab is an outlier here.

Let not forget muPDF which renders also pretty fast on linux.

However, for those of us running Linux Adobe Reader is not a viable
option.  I used to have an rpm file for a 32-bit Adobe Reader from
about 2008 or 2010.  Some library changes made it stop working.
Okular and poppler are part of the KDE project.  I found another
application called Master PDF Editor which also renders Therion maps
with reasonable speed.  There is a free version and it is available
for all of Windows, Linux and MacOS.

Adobe Reader, but much faster than Okular.
