nope ...,
to use the mesh reuse facility of povray (to save memory) you nearly 
always depend on instanciating the hair as copies of a predefiend mesh.
As stated above I wrote macros to generate a small macro to define such 
a mesh as "hair patch prototype" and used copies of it.

See
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3C432f4a2e%40news.povray.org%3E/
as example in which trouble you may run if your using cylinders.

memory consumption for this render was roughly 180M.
