Does that mean that a camera will be optional?
Can the sole purpose of a POV4 script be to create a scene and then 
output it in some format like STL (for a 3D printer)?
Will the camera be just one of the functions that gets a scene as input 
to produce some output or will it be handled in a special way?
Will scan-line rendering( or filling a pipeline of a graphics card) of a 
scene be another option in order to get a fast rough idea of the 
composition?
