                 alm= accumulate(n, f, mesh, rcap, rtrack, pts, dylm, flux, nrpp)

         Do N batches (approximately rays_per_batch each, default 13000) of
         rays from file F, MESH = hydra_mesh(F), analyzing the symmetry of
         a capsule of radius RCAP (all rays tangent to this sphere),
         tracing the rays only down to radius RTRACK (>1.001*RCAP).
         This routine is designed to be called several times successively
         to get better statistics.  PTS, DYLM, FLUX, and NRPP are all updated.
         PTS = unit vectors in directions of points on capsule surface
               defaults to bucky(3,1): 1280 points with an intrinsic
    	   fidelity of about 1% out to l=12
    	   use bucky(4,1,domega), dylm= get_ylm(pts,lmax,list)*domega(-,..)
    	   to get 5120 points and intrinsic fidelity of about 0.2% at l=12
         DYLM = ylm*domega for PTS
         FLUX = accumulated flux at each of PTS; units are power/area
         NRPP = accumulated number of rays per point of capsule surface
         ALM = 91 coefficients of Ylm up to l=12 corresponding to FLUX
               l= [0, 1,1, 2,2,2, 3,3,3,3, 4,4,4,4,4, ...]
    	   m= [0, 0,1, 0,1,2, 0,1,2,3, 0,1,2,3,4, ...]
