If all else fails, there's still the option to turn off PNG, JPEG and 
TIFF support (just like is done with OpenEXR when the libs are not 
there), and render e.g. to Radiance HDR.

(Though from a formal point of view I think it would be a violation of 
the POV-Ray license to distribute such a custom build, so one would have 
to wait until POV-Ray goes GPL.)

Why not? At least as soon as POV-Ray can do networked rendering, it 
might be an interesting option to include the cell phone in the private 
server farm via BT or USB. That would also allow to trim down the cell 
phone version to the bare back-end.
