I agree to that, but since POV-code will be between IFPOV and IFNOTPOV codes
will it matter that much?

There I disagree: the reason I ask is because of the macaroni-brick. I tried
(fairly succesfull) to write the main part as POV-code and it is just 35 lines
and half of them only contain a "}". True you'll get LDraw-code + POV-code but
since POV has more primitives POV-code will be smaller.
I'm not saying all bricks should contain POV-code; standard bricks, tiles and
plates are fine by me and some less standard parts are beautifull programmed
too. But in some cases I think a part would benefit from having some POV-code in
it. Look at the 9V train motor wheels for example.

Hmm, there are 2 problems: the LGEO lib hasn't been updated for a long time and
Anton's parts are different from the LGEO parts (take a look in the code of both
libs and you'll see). I would opt for Anton's lib (hè, he's Dutch too you know!)
since that is bigger now than the LGEO lib.
