OK, let me explain why I suggested this:
-neXtgen is a IDE for POV-Ray, so is dedicated to interact with POV-Ray 
and ONLY with POV-Ray. SO I thought since I have tryed and is nice, I 
would like to use the editor but have POV_Ray handy, the obvious 
solution is to integrate neXtgen into POV-Ray as an alternative built-in 
editor.

  I know that this should be ALOT more difficult than I can think of, 
that's why I wanted to know either way, if it was feasible or not. I 
guess not since looks like POV 4 is taken a lot of time and effort from 
the POV-Team. I just suggested in case they wanted it as an alternative 
editor since the POV-Team is making a "new" POV-Ray, remaking 
copyrighted source, so this could be inserted in this stage of POV-Ray's 
development I presume, since CODEMAX is a commercial plug-in doanted to 
POV-Ray.
