Is there a way to get a listing of what POV is rendering?

I know it sounds silly, but ....

I haven't tried it recently, but in the past I've had trouble with the 
blobman macros, specificially the hair color;  The line where the error 
came from (down two or three levels of macro expansion) didn't help me 
debug it.

So - is there a way to get a listing of the source with all the includes 
and macros expanded?

Thanks.

Tom A.

Do you need expanded list or just order of "execution"? You can just start
every include file with:

  #debug "Inclusion of this_file_name.inc\n"

and every macro with:

  #debug "Execution of this_macro_name.inc\n"

In standard include files you can get it by declaring

  #declare View_POV_Include_Stack = yes;

at begining of your main scene.
