It is John, yes. To use John's macros you need to import as .obj or .3ds
from wings and then convert to mesh (not mesh2) compress it with Warp's mesh
compressor and then you can use the macros. If you're a masochist you can
just import as mesh2 from wings and then 'feed' the macro the vertices and
face indices by hand :P

Still I would love to see POV do subdivision surfaces internally.
