I can see this being super-useful for making include files.

Telling the plug-in to supress the camera and lighting stuff would be a big time saver over removing it all by hand.

Note that the directives only makes sense when you export from AC3D.
The point of the suppressing directives is mainly to support a work flow like :
1. Initial export from AC3D to .pov
2. Select elements in the .pov and put them outside the PfPOV_BEGIN / END scope. That way any modification of them in the .pov file will be preserved.
3. Use the various PfPOV_NO... directives so that AC3D doesn't re-generate those elements.
But yes, one side-affect of using PfPOV is that all model specific scripting can be in put into one single .pov file.
