  This means that the outputting is buffered, just like outputting to
standard output in any programming language.
  In programming languages the solution to this is to flush the stdout
stream after outputting the text. AFAIK there's no way to flush text
streams in povray other than outputting a "\n".

  How about a new feature: #flush <stream>, where <stream> can be
'debug', 'render', 'warning', etc...
  For example:

#warning "This is a warning"
#flush warning

-- 
main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/
