	- changes 02/04/13: fixed flag in ofstream causing a bug under Windows,
	added default values for M_PI and INFINITY
	- changes 24/05/13: small change to way we compute the refraction direction
	vector (eta=ior if we are inside and 1/ior if we are outside the sphere)

	Compile with the following command: c++ -o raytracer -O3 -Wall raytracer.cpp
