The obj format is actually Alias/Wavefront. I think it's relatively close to
mesh2 but that as it's very comprehensive it's not that easy to convert. You
can look up this format and others here
http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/geomformats/

Unless you really want to go the macro route, I suggest that you use 3DWin
from http://www.tb-software.com as it converts easily from many formats to
Povray's mesh2. I just tried the registered version (I don't know about the
limitations of the evaluation one) on the angel fish and it created a
complete Povray one with proper bitmap texture.
