A dedicated obj -> pov converter is on my to-do list. (Pose-Ray is nice, 
but I'm on Linux, and sometimes I just don't want to mess with Wine.)

No promises if/when I'll get to work on it (unless you're willing to 
bribe me).

I believe Inkscape already exports to Pov. As others have mentioned, it 
is a strictly 2D format, but Inkscape can be useful for generating 
lathes and prisms.
