In fact, L3P doesn't inline at all.
The POV file is big because it contains a lot of wordy POV code wrapped
around the compact Ldraw syntax, e.g.
4 16  1 2 3  4 5 6  7 8 9  10 11 12
is translated into
mesh {
triangle { <4,5,6>, <7,8,9>, <10,11,12> }
triangle { <10,11,12>, <1,2,3>, <4,5,6> }
}
And L3P even ignores linetypes 2 and 5.
