I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

My primary desire in developing this app is to give the POV-Ray 
community a tool for making posable models that can be animated by SDL 
code.  A lot of CSG models in .INC files can be posed based on #declares 
that are set prior to calling the file; I wanted to have uv-mapped 
subdivision surface models that can be used in the same way.  This isn't 
something that seems to be covered by any app out there (I may be 
wrong), so for the moment I don't have any competition.

Probably true.  But as things stand, my app doesn't play well with others.
