Because In order to get it working properly I've had to ask Lutz to make
quite a few modifications to Moray and it's plugin interface.  Each
round trip involves describing the problem, trying a fix, fixing the
fix, finding a new problem.

Although you could describe the t/s/r fields with a formula, how would
you describe the characteristics of the animation itself?  [e.g.,
start/stop time, FPS] - remember that Moray has no notion of time.  How
do you control the renderer from within the plugin (it turns out to be
difficult to determine when POV-Ray is done rendering a frame).  How do
you tell Moray when to use a formula and when to use a value from the
dialog.
