Sorry, that was a bit of a wild goose chase.
We didn't bother to write a standalone program, but it might not be too hard
to pull out the stl slicer bit. I'm not exactly volunteering to do so right
now, but I've been going over the code a bit, and if it's just a 1-liner, I
might* end up doing it. Or you can, if you can hack java.

There's a discussion of stl slicing here.

If you're using Rhino3D, it will import .stl and output slices..

You may also want to take a look at http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/

This may do stl, or the older version slicer2.6 might.

Or there might be a way to tweak Gershenfeld's camp.py to do it.

If you want to do that, I'd ask for help here:

There's also an abandoned student project linux stl_slicer here:
