I have a lot of running around to do, so I'll only be able to sporadically play
with the output.

I'll post a zip of all the files that were generated, and maybe we can all
run/edit/debug the code, etc. and come up with something that makes sense.

One thing that I did was have it generate ALL the possible permutations of light
source and object, and I would suggest that part of the distribution be a scene
that renders all the permutations.  That ought to put an end to any questions
about how povray actually operates.
