While you are right with that, I think a lot of people have GFX cards
sufficiently powerful to handle anisotropic filtering.
I think having an option for this (same as for mipmapping) would
definitely make sense here as it improves cube display quality a lot.

Only problem now is that Bartosz forgot to attach the patch ;-)
