Get your facts right. Most of that 4m is docs and misc files. PVENGINE itself
is 1.4m total. Your claim that the 'rendering engine' is 4m is misleading and
could put people off using POVWIN if they haven't already tried it.

'Should' by your standards perhaps. Active X didn't exist at the time (as you
should well know) and we won't use a DLL because it allows POV-Ray's renderer
to be too easily subverted by leechware.

Really, if you want a DLL-based renderer, why don't you simply write your own ?
