   Perhaps I didn't emphasize it enough, but I really hoped not to have
to distribute an executable... the script is very simplistic right now:
it just defines some configuration variables at the top, and uses them
to read a POV-Ray include file, extract objects and material names, and
write some resulting files.

   So, at the moment, the "user" needs to edit the script before using it
on his own scenes. The ideal situation would be to write this tool with
POV-Ray SDL, so I could be sure any POV-Ray user will have the means to
use it, but I think this is not possible.

   Being that lazy, I didn't want to implement proper command-line
arguments or input dialogs, as the whole thing it's just a "proof of
concept" demo. But I would like others to test it, so I guess I will
have to...
