I plan to have a block in global_settings - just like radiosity for
example - to set the simulation parameters and starting conditions and
make the simulation data (i.e. positions and velocities) available in the
POV-Script with some function.  I have not yet written such a complicated
patch in the past, but from what i have seen in the POV-Ray 3.1 code this
should be feasible.  There should also be save_file/load_file options to
use data from the last frame and save it for the next.
