It would be a no from me.

I've spent many years waiting for computers to catch up with my 
imagination. And when they do. My imagination has moved on to bigger 
things. :-)

I followed your reasoning. Can't and wouldn't want to fault it.

I can't. I don't think that it is possible without using adaptive Level 
of Detail. Even if I could code I would not want to try it in SDL.
Although, I suppose you could write an external program and call it from 
PovRay.

Having said that. I am a great admirer of Yadgar's work. (High! Yadgar)
I have been following it forever. In the early days I copied his 
examples, to learn.

I can't help feeling that for modelling such large structures. Digital 
computers have their drawbacks.
But I don't want to go down the philosophy, road. :-)
