  A precompiled library alone is useless in C/C++. You need the non-compiled
public interface to use the library.

  That's exactly the problem: If you create a POV-Ray library using
language X, it must be usable without the need for the user to have
the developement environment necessary to write in language X. It must
be usable from POV-Ray directly, using its native scripting language.
How are you going to use it without an interface?
