If adding ROTSTEP to ldglite is the right thing to do in general, then go ahead
and add it.
LPub is in general, a simple tool to create a step DAT for each step, and render
each step (plus PLI and BOM). There are a bunch of work arounds for specific
quirks for L3P and POV-Ray. I already had a filter in place to filter out STEPs
because I was using -ms and -mS (?). Now that you have the -mf and -MF, I can
throw out code that filters out STEP from the step DATs.
Having a way to disable ROTSTEP in ldglite would be handiest, but I can filter
those out if needed. An option to disable it would eliminate the need for the
filter step (but I filtered out STEPs in the code that rotates the model for
ROTSTEP, so I could just leave the filter in for LDGLite just in case).
LPub does whatever it has to do to get things to work. That is the nature of a
tool that uses other tools.

You could make it the default, and then let LPub disable it.

Well, we programmers are a small minority of the people here.
