After some fixes in LPub, I got ldGlite renderer working with LPub!
The images are comparable to LDView, but ldGlite renders blindingly fast! I
rendered all the images for pedmatic in less than 5 minutes. Amazing.

There seems to be a bit of a scale problem though....

Step 22 was rendered with a portion of the foot, out of screen. I don't know if
this is a scale problem, or a centering issue.

I have not eliminated the POV-Ray install requirement yet.
So far LDView and ldGLite have only been verified on XP. I want to debug it
under Windows98 before I do anything else.

Well Larry, it only took me a couple of years, but I got LPub working with
ldGlite, just like you asked!
