You are right Christian. The "GUI Extensions" used by Bishop3D and Moray 
can start PovRay and pass an INI file to it to run a Pov file. It can, 
by some magical (to me) means, display the output image as it is being 
rendered. (In Bishop3D it is not obvious how this is done but in Moray 
it is automatically displayed.)
