There was discussion about this just recently...apparently there is a 
patch called mlpov that allows this. I don't know if it is for the 
MegaPOV functions or the POV 3.5 functions (there have been huge changes 
between the two, Thorsten did a lot of work on them), and it hasn't seen 
much publicity on the English speaking groups (the author is French).

find edges postprocess using functions (one of the more recent threads 
with discussion about giving functions more intersection information)
