what you want.  I was able to back this toward the camera a bit, but
when I was getting all white image with 60000, I thought there
was an issue with clippping planes.

I'd rather not have to specify them at all.

Yeah, me too, but opengl requires it.  I didn't make them automatic
because the ldlite parser draws as it parses, so it doesn't have access
to the bounding box of the model.  I'll fix it for the l3 parser to
default the clipping planes just outside the bounding box.

Also, when I specify -i2 (PNG with alpha channel), is the background
written out as transparent?  I need this to happen for POV-Ray
compatibility.

It works for me with -i2 (clipped) and -i-2 (unclipped).  I used
Travis' red background to test it in mozilla.

Umm, watch out for antialiased -q lines in the released version of
ldglite.  They come out partially transparent.  It's fixed in the
current sources, so when I make those other two patches you're looking
for, I'll try to make a new release.

The current source code also supports the -mf and -mF command line
options so you can just generate the final image and put it wherever
you want.  (try -mFc:\images\car.png for example).
