  AFAIK there's no way to see the command line parameters from the pov code
(except for the clock and clock_delta variables which are the only exceptions).
  I'm afraid that you have to do something like this:

#declare Width=640;
#declare Height=480;

...

camera
{ right x*Width/Height;
  location ...
  ...
} 

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