Yeah, I could write a Windows batch file or Unix shell script that could
construct this list, wrap it with SDL syntax, and dump it to a .inc file.  I
could then stick the batch file or shell script in Pre_Scene_Command and get
the job done.  Didn't know about that until just a few minutes ago while
searching for a solution to a similar problem I posted in povray.general.
