Rather hard to describe in words but..

Has anyone got POV to render images in the false isometric view where 
the x and y-axes of the (3-dimensional) world space are projected to x 
and y in the scene and z is mapped to a diagonal line
y    z

I want to display a map and instead of just displaying it flat I wanted 
a pretty rendered 3D view but without any perspective issues.
The map is retangular and so I want its sides parallel and the top and 
botom to be horizontal, is this too perverse for POV ray?

I can get fairly close with an orthographic projection but then I have 
to shear the image externally to make the nearside of the map horizontal.
