This looks cool!

I'm thinking about putting the controls for callout image generation outside
of the DAT files, because simply changing callout format in a given DAT file
makes LPub run POV-Ray for all the steps in the file.  CALLOUT is merely
tiling together already computed images, so there should be no need to run
POV-Ray.

How about LPub reading from a 'callout.ldr' submodel in the MPD file, and
adding an option to say "compile callouts from previously generated images?"
