	I have not noticed having that problem so I have not tried to solve it. 

	But I have used, 

		#if (condition) then use external parameter file 

	which can vary like a clock when incremented as well as change other
parameters. 

	Since POV can't treat differently hand changed parameters from those
read from a file you might try it.
