Why not let POVray generate .PNG directly? I know it's possible when you run POV
'by hand', but I don't know if LPub lets you set that option.

Maybe you can modify somewhere in the pov .ini-chain to get the option set

I don't have the pov documentation available right now, so I can't tell you what
the option is (faint memory of +FP or +FN, or some such, on the command line).
