Use keywords 'up' and 'sky' in the camera statement, with +z as their values
or a vector of <0,0,1>, and keyword 'right' as -y or <0,-1,0>.

If you intend to use the 'direction' keyword make sure it is also set to a
+y value or vector; 'angle' doesn't use a vector or axis so that should be
okay as is.

I think this is how to set up the right-handed system in POV-Ray. Hopefully
someone else can confirm this... or just test it out and you will find out
quickly by doing some hand acrobatics.
