[PD] Writing texture to different sides of cube in GEM

[B. Bogart]

If anyone does make a cube from squares please do publish it for others!
(perhaps in the gem abstractions folder?)

I made a cube of curve3d objects... Which is certainly not great in
terms of performance as a normal cube! I never published it, if there is
interest I'll stick it in Gem SVN.
