D'oh, I meant to say "cylindrical lens". Ergo, something that would distort the image evenly in only one plane, so that it could be properly front-projected onto a cylindrical screen. But you are talking about bouncing the projected image off a curved mirror which then projects onto the screen, no? Now I have to go google "fold mirrors"! :)
