Yes, it's certainly stuck that way in the current POV-Ray line, no big deal
anyway. Changing 1.33 into image_height/image_width is certainly the first
thing I do when reusing old scenes though...

But is that a common problem? I can imagine that some printers are able to
do anisotropic printing, but I guess that these machines would be able to
print standard, square-based images too. What would be the point of not
being able to do so, or am I missing something obvious there?
Googling about pixel ratio returns links to (professional?) video
production, with people complaining that entry-level software like Bryce or
Poser cannot do non-square pixels for video, unlike professional apps like
AfterEffects.
