Lets take the example and L3P and POV.  The LDraw format description for parts
is in the PARTS directory.  Sub-parts are in the PARTS/S directory.  Primitives
are in the P directory.  All of this is kept under the LDRAW directory.

Our alternate solution to embedded POV is parallel parts description libraries.
Lets say we created PARTS-POV, PARTS-POV/S and P-POV directories under the LDRAW
directory.  L3P is the standard tool for translating LDraw format descriptions
into POV descriptions.  When L3P goes to translate an LDR file, it opens up the
LDR file and determines each of the part uses, as well as triangles and quads.

The above example parallel directory structure is just an example.  I see that
there are many possible alternate solutions...

POV directory as sigbling of LDRAW subdirectory, where the POV directory has
PARTS, PARTS/S and P subdirectories.  Or same directory structure, except POV is
subdirectory of LDRAW.  I guess we need to decide if the pov libararies are
inside the LDRAW directory or outside.  If inside then we need to decide how it
is done.  If outside it is not under our control.
