My basic idea was something similar using switch statement in a loop to
setup the objects, but I didn't want 4 images (nitpicky terminology; then
its animation not a recursive still).

So I guess there's no way to call(render) from within a scene file :(
Actually, thinking about it, its rather obvious that a command like that in
a loop would have serious implications for parsing...

Hmmmm, does POV automatically assign frame numbers, or can I render 4 frames
all with the same name, something like
next_frame_number=current_frame_number (have never played with animation...
I don't have the patience...)
