If you arrange for TheObject to be in a separate include file, it might
be easier to use a simple external program to produce a copy with *all*
the textures removed. I'd suggest using Perl or Python.

The program would have to be able to count the depth of "{" to "}"
nesting and be able to recognise the keywords "material", "texture",
"pigment", "normal" and "finish". When it finds such a keyword it skips
it, and skips the following characters until the curly-bracket depth
gets back to the current level.

All the textures you want to apply would be held in the scene file that
#includes the stripped file.
