Strangely, if I don't specify it on the command line, then it just seems 
to skip it, and complains about that reading test.pov is not permitted. 
I think it skips ~/.povray.conf because its contents are:

[Permitted Paths]
read+write*=.

which should allow full access to the current directory and its subdirs. 
Povray complains nevertheless, so seemingly it doesn't read that config 
file.

The other possibiliy I can imagine is that since there is no global 
(system-wide) config file, povray thinks the system-wide permitted paths 
list is empty (of which I can't be sure). And since the user config 
files can only further constrain the global settings, my ~/.povray.conf 
's settings have no effect. Does this mean that I have to recompile 
povray anyway, with specifying a system-wide config file path to which I 
have access?
