Yeah, VRML's just a *teensy* bit different from QTVR.  The former is 
geometry-based, and the latter is photo-based.

The only thing that's worth translating at all, imho, is triangle 
meshes.  It should be fairly easy with perl or awk or a little piece of 
C to turn POVRay triangle meshes into VRML IndexedFaceSets.
