You got it. It's in povray.binaries.utilities.
The lower/upper corner of the containing box is displayed on screen after the
end of the parsing, and a commented line is added at the end of the generated
file :
// Tree in box{<-20.8239,-3.15052,-15.6178>,<16.2539,48.6219,22.4758>
pigment{Green}}
If it's buggy let me know (I just tested it on extree1.pov).
