Until now I focused on modeling. Animation (and thus a skeleton) is next 
on my list.

Parsing POV-code is a bit tricky, but JPatch's file-format is XML based 
now, and so the skeleton (once implemented) will be saved/loaded as XML 
code too - so you could write a little e.g. perl script which parses 
your pov blob-character and exports it in JPatchs's XML format...

Right now you could render orthographic views for front, side and top 
views of your skeleton in POV-Ray and use the images as background 
(rotoscopes) in JPatch...
