These guys mean well, but they go off on a slight tangent sometimes :)

You want something easy, right? I've got two solutions for you:

1) PoseRay
You can import a basic mesh (even POV format, evidently), add smoothing 
to it, and export it to POV.

2) POV-Sub
Download POV-Sub for POV-Ray version 3.6. You can apply smoothing to 
your mesh directly in POV, without actually subdividing it.

Good luck!
