It would be really cool to integrate this into SDL itself ;)

#declare MY_TEXTURE = scene
{
   camera {orthographic ...}
   light_source {...}
   plane {...}
}

#declare MY_SCENE = scene
{
   camera {...}
   light_source {...}
   sphere {0,1 pigment {image_map "foo.png"}}
}

render
{
   scene {MY_TEXTURE}
   width  1024
   height 1024
   output_file_name "foo.png"
}

render
{
   scene {MY_SCENE}
   width  1024
   height 768
   output_file_name "myscene.png"
}

This also allows for variables which persist across multiple frames
in animations (done manually using a #while loop). And just imagine
what you can do with macros. Well, better not to hold my breath ;)
