If we could figure out a *fast* interface for getting images between a
renderer and LPub (fast enough to be interactive like I know Willy wants)

supports simple ambient, diffuse, specular reflection lighting model, mesh
triangle support (like LDView), and optional brick outlining (like LDlite)
would be ideal.
