My language of choice for that tool would be C#, and the part that
calls L3P could easily be put into an external assembly (i.e. a
DLL).

Why not learn POV-Ray?  If you know VB or C# or any language for that
matter, POV-Ray is really simple compared to them (much less syntax
to learn).

Well, can you create a POV-Ray file which will automatically read in an
LDraw MPD file and use settings files or maybe even a GUI to select
submodels from the MPD file and render those to several picture files?
That would be an interesting idea, of course.

I imagine I can do that in less than 20 lines of POV-Ray code using an INI
script.
