[vtkusers] vtkPOVExporter problem - multiple face_indices

[David E DeMarle]

Hi Ray,

Ollie said that it may be a bug in vtkPOVExporter. If the PolyData has
both polygon and triangle strip, it will generate two face_indices in
a single mesh2.

If you insert a vtkTriangleFilter into the pipeline before the
exported, it should get by the bug.

If you run test1.py it generates incorrect povray file, test2.py generates correct povray file. The difference is that test1.py extrudes the polygon and test2.py does not.
