For building a makefile as Jon suggested - one that only rerenders a given
scene if something about it has changed. Not that such a feature is
particularly useful, I guess, but it'd still be nice to be able to get a
list of the dependencies of a scene file if you plan to pack it up and
send it off to irtc or news.povray.org or wherever.
