you know. there is something someone can do now.

we have Pythoncoders, very talented ones, hanging around.

why don't we get them to write a exporter to Yafafray or Kerkythea? (both excellent free render engines)
it can be done - someone wrote Poseray - Poser to POVRay.... (I would do it if I could program. but alas I have no skill or talent in that department.)
