I think one problem hampering this is integration within POV's menu 
system.  Currently, most people have far more potential in the include 
files they already have, then they realize.  Sure, you COULD browse the 
docs (as it lists most (or all?) of the includes), or browse the source 
code itself, but most people never do.

I'd recommend starting by making an improved Include menu (I know 
there's at least one project out there that does so, but I don't 
remember who made it) which features EVERYTHING from the Standard 
Include files.

The next step, would be to find what you believe are the most common / 
useful include files that aren't bundled with POV-Ray, and work them 
into your Include menu (with the authors' permission, of course).

Once that's done, petition the POV-Team to replace the standard Include 
menu with your own custom one.
