It's been suggested once as a solution by Tim Cook, but it deserves
re-emphasising - right proper include files.

It's then very easy to either add or comment out, or modify a boolean to
change the scene option, and, in your case, which files are included.

This is the portable and native method in pov for doing what you want - why
re-invent the wheel?

Just have stuff like:

#declare do_man = false;
#declare do_woman = true;

#if(do_man)
    #include "man_msh.inc"
    object(man)
#end

#if(do_man)
    #include "woman_msh.inc"
    object(man)
#end
