The code to do it was written by a moron, and so it doesn't work. But
it is in there and just needs to be debugged and switched on, ideally
by someone who knows more than just how to pronounce Java3D...
The switch is in org.reprap.geometry.LayerProducer.java:
// Uncomment the next line to replace lower layers with shell triangles.
//printer.setLowerShell(ls);
