Awesome idea!

I wouldn't try messing with the BSP tree too much, though.  From what I
understand, it'll kill ya :)

But a nice MAP->POV converted would be awesome.  Maybe a Moray plugin (I'm
pushing it now, huh?)

I've seen POV->MAP, but not MAP->POV.  Probably the biggest obstacle is the
textures (would have to be extracted from the BSP file or from WADs) and the
lighting (ech!)
