I implemented the original superellipsoid primitive in Manta and added it to primtest back in mid-2005. As James noted, it's fairly ancient code and has undoubtedly fallen prey to bit-rot. Honestly, that version is probably worth removing at this point.

The problem seems to have been in primtest. I lied before, I asked primtest for simplesuperellipse and that doesn't seem to work. If I use superellipse instead then things look right.

The epsilons are probably all wrong.  We have a sweet super ellipsoid
generated from RTSL.  I don't know what the state of sharing generated
code would be.

Does the superellipsoid primitive work? I tried running the superellipsoid
scene in primtest and i just got the bgpoly part of the scene.
