The 1.2 picking routines should also be able to do the kind of picking you want,
as long as you can cast your collision shape into a PickShape.  You'll be able
to inquire the coordinates, color, normal and texture coordinates of each
intersection of the PickShape with the Geometry.

I can't guarantee that all of the PickBounds cases will return complete info for
beta 1, but you just upped the priority on those cases ;->.
