If that were the only problem, the extra flexibility would be well worth it.

This is one of those things that I would only expect 10% of the userbase
to even touch--if lots of people wind up needing it, it's because we
screwed something up.

Besides, we already have that showing up with people using modelers and
such. Remember that Pose-ray is Windows-only?

I'd say make as much as you can work inside of Pov (hence the argument
for a much expanded SDL that does things that people now use external
programs for), and then get out of the way of everyone that we can't
directly support.

Unless of course you want to include every obscure scientific
visualization library into Pov. ;-)
