Hmm...that might be something new for me to try. I have only used Make files for
compilation before this. How does one integrate it into a "script"?

Let me describe my setup. We have co-ordinate files that we render "on-the-fly"
by parsing into suitable .pov files and then calling povray. All this is
currently done within a wrapper shell script.

Any more guidance?
