Wait, I think I get it.  Are you suggesting this?

povray +Icontent.pov +HItemplate.inc

instead of what I was saying before?  If I want to run another content file and
I have another template that has say a different light source or camera
location, I'd run something like this:

povray +Iothercontent.pov +HIdifferenttemplate.inc

Interesting.  I'll have to be very careful with the template files, specifying
exactly what they have to have, but I think it might work.
