Of course you can render a simple pendulum in official POV-Ray, either 
by precalculating the movement and rendering it or by doing a simple 
simulation in POV-SDL (in fact for a pendulum this would be way more 
efficient than using the Mechsim patch because you can do it in 1D while 
Mechsim can only simulate it in 3D).
