IMHO, and based on the postings on this server, I think that for the most
part the folks asking for this have read the docs, and they want to be able
to "externally" automate the render process when creating animations.
There are no intentions of abuse, just trying to make animation easier and
more flexible. Currently there are just four options available.
1) Use a custom compile
2) Write a GUI-extension
3) Shell-out to Operating System
4) run pvengine.exe with /exit
Each has it's drawbacks.
