Perhaps this would make a good additional feature for the anim plugin-output
options:

BMP
PNG
POV <---
...
and just write the export files for each frame with appropriate name munging
(*001,002 etc)

Then you could render them (anyplace) with a simple umbrella file like
#switch (clock)
#case (1)
  #include "frame001.pov"
#case (2)
...
(my syntax probably all wrong but you get the idea)

Which could also allow for some interesting post-export processing of the
pov files, perhaps taking advantage of clock, which the current plugin
render->animation does not allow for.
