I guess what I was thinking was exporting a file that could either be povray
format, a format that l3p could convert (preserving unions, macros, etc), or a
format that I would use with Anton's library
where I swap out the LDraw parts/models with povray versions made in his
library.

Doing this would not use CLEAR and STEP though.  It would be more like the
script format.

Just brainstorming:

Your script format:

model.fly.east (from frame 1 to frame 10)

POV-Ray format:

#switch ( frame_clock )
  #range (1,10)
    object model ( fly (east) ) <- something like that....
    #break
#end

...

Can't think of anything off of the top of my head to have l3p generate similar
output...

What if.... what if you took the L3P output and modified THAT?.... more on this
later.
