Personally, I would like POVRay to switch to a plug-in architecture.  Where
different functionality could be attained by seperate modules.  Adding more
and more functionality to POVRay simply bloats it.  Those that simply want a
fast single frame raytracer wouldn't have to contend with the added memory
overhead of a animation system built in to it.  Those that want animation
would simply add the animation dlls to the system.
