Just a thought.  If the POVRAY (or whatever) sections get too big,

0 IFDEF POVRAY
0 INCLUDE pov/coolpart.pov
0 ELSE
0 boring LDRAW version of part

0 ENDIF

In general, that's an interesting thought.

But in this case, I don't think it's necessary - POV already has an include
statement (IIRC).

Of course, allowing the use of such a statement raises another issue: is it
alright to distribute non-LDraw files with the LDraw parts library?

Sorry if this has been discussed to death already...

Nope, it hadn't been brought up (in this context).
