That's OK for me. If the core of POVRay has to be implemented in pure 
standard C++ than this feature will not be possible.

Correct. As I mentioned the platform has to support dynamic loading. But 
I think thats the case for 99% of the systems POVRay is really running 
(not only compiling) on.

As I wrote above I dont need this feature. It was only a technical question.
