Good idea, we shouldn't be discussing this in lugnet.flame.flame :)

I've done that to LeoCAD a few months ago, when you export a file to
POV-Ray it first searches the LGEO library for the parts and then if it
cannot find something it generates the part like L3P (except that it
doesn't do the primitive substitutions). Did anyone try that ?

L3G0 was one the things that got me interested in Lego again but it's
been a while since I last used it so I'm going to ask a stupid question:
Does it have many parts that are not in LGEO ?
Maybe it would be a good idea to join both libraries in a single, more
complete one. We just would have to make sure that the center of each
part is in the same place and that they use the same units and axis
direction.
