pvengine.c is related to the windows specific code, so it handles things like
the display and interface.  It's really big and complicated. :)

The reason most patches require modifications to parse.c (and frame.h and
tokenize.c) is that the parser reads in the data for different keywords in the
scene file.  Adding a new keyword means you have to add it to the files
associated with the parser.
