To be truthful neither do I. I assume that the native Pov extension has 

Bishop3D can preview the file before it is written and both Bishop3D and 
Moray can include SDL to be exported. Moray has some rudimentary mesh 
creating/editing functions while Bishop3D does not. Both of them export 
to PovRay either pure SDL or include mesh files.
If you are looking for some means to cut down the work that PovRay has 
to do then I do not think that this extension is what you are looking for.
I might be corrected by others.
