  There are countless ways of doing it in C, others are more complicated
than others, but due to the flexibility of the program, it can actually
be done in a rather simple way. This is the shortest self-printing C program
I have ever seen:

main(){char*s="main(){char*s=%c%s%c;printf(s,34,s,34);}";printf(s,34,s,34);}

  However, it's probably a lot more complicated to do it with POV-Ray.
