        We only maintain bounding spheres internally for reduced
storage requirements and culling/intersection speed. pfGetNodeBBox
returns the bounding box that surrounds the bounding sphere that
surrounds the real bounding box. I think however that we need to
provide some easy way to get the true bounding box.
