PS. If it can help you I might consider changing L3P to generate macros

Yeah, it'd be very cool if L3P had an option to generate include files instead
of full scenes.  That way, people could run all their various model files
through L3P to generate the definitions in include files.  Then they could use
all those definitions in their scene/animation.

The coming L3P has also these new options:
  -ic[<file>] no camera, optional include file
  -il[<file>] no lights, optional include file
So,
   l3p -ic -il model.ldr model.inc
might just do what you want, assuming you still want color and primitive definitions
to be included in model.inc.
Otherwise you would have to manage color and primitive definitions yourself.

Color and primitive definitions are guarded by ifdef's,
meaning that they will be silently ignored if already defined in the "master" pov file,
that includes the models.
