How about a user defined button or two? I did the same thing with
ldglite.exe, but then I wanted to add a few commandline args and
stick it into a batch file, but calling it LDView.bat didn't fool
LDDesignPad.
Just imagine allowing the user to add a button that calls a little
batch file which runs l3p and then pops up a POV render window.
That might be a handy feature for the part authors working on
inline POV code in the part files.

Since we seem to have a few Delphi Programmers around, how about
making the source code available? (except for the commercial widget
of course). Maybe nobody will use it, but you never know...
