Not sure if in there completely, but certainly searching further would 
reveal some of the even older threads about the very same topic:

<http://news.povray.org/povray.programming/thread/%3Cweb.3dc175b4282cec51d2ac4d730%40news.povray.org%3E/>

Please lets not have the same disscussion over and over again.  Just Google 
for something like

site:news.povray.org povray.programming plugin

and you get enough hits with thread about this topic.
