Instead of shoving all these metastatements into files, maybe a file
conversion utility (DAT -> POV) should keep an INI file that records which
parts can be processed in this way, and which cannot.
I'm basing this suggestion on the assumption that more metastatements will
increase file size, but if that's not really the case, then nevermind.

See some examples at http://members.aol.com/elferwette/LDraw/index.htm.

That one example looks awesome!

Is it worth to ask Lars Hassing for integration in L3P, e.g. controlled by
commandline parameters?

Heck yeah!

Would there be any point to discussing possible meta-statements, to turn
smoothing on and off for different sections of part files?

My thought was that the smoothing could be turned on and off, as appropriate. That would require metastatements in the parts files. Extra metastatements will slow down processing, but not by very much. They will also increase file size, but again, (...) (23 years ago, 24-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
