The point on which we disagree is the nature of convenience or 
usability. The relationship between feature expansion and usability has 
been argued a thousand times - there's no point in continuing to repeat 
it. If you think a large expansion of the (already buggy) procedural 
portion of POV SDL is the most convenient (to users) way to accomplish a 
job like format conversion, then so be it. I think you're nuts. I say, 
learn a little Perl (that's what it's there for), or even better, 
hard-code format conversion into the POV source code. I guess that 
sounds nutty to you.
