You got it. 0 L3P IFPOV meta-statements are probably the way to accomplish what
you want. Hmm, thinking more about it (I could just go try it), you'll probably
still need l3p's -p parameter, or l3p probably won't even look at the primitive
files in the LDraw library.
Anyway, just edit the primitive files in the ldraw\p\ directory, wrapping the
original code with L3P IFPOV statements, and adding your code. Like this:
0 L3P IFNOTPOV
<original ldraw code>
0 L3P ELSEPOV
0 <your POV code here, embedded as LDraw comments>
0 L3P ENDPOV
Once you've added your POV-based definitions to the primitive files, L3P will
generate 'its' primitive definitions with your code instead of ldraw's code.
