Thanks I guess I should try it. But your system involves exporting a mesh per
frame, yes? That is what I am trying, either hardheadedly or brilliantly, to
avoid at all costs.  I guess I'd say I have the patience to model a human with
meshes *one time*.  Then I want to parameterize the nose, eyes, cheeks, brow,
and animate the mouth & eyes.

Partly this is just to see what can be done, but I also think it's helpful for
povray itself to demonstrate the power of its scripting language.
