Writing an export plugin

[lists at david-williams.info]

Right, first of all apologies for disappearing all of a sudden. My
Masters thesis is due in next week and all of a sudden it caught up
with me!

So this is just to say the information you provided was great, and I now
have a framework (based on design of the povray exporter) which exports
basic scenes with spheres. I'll add a couple of primitives, try to sort
out some kind of consistent indentation, and let you see it to ensure
it's design is consistant with the way you expected. Then it's just a
case of implementing lots of serialization methods :-)

So, thanks for the help and will get back to you in a week or so.
