I'd noticed some OOP stuff in the code, the object methods for instance. 
Or were you speaking of the scene language?
I'm currently learning Objective C, an OOP extended version of C which 
apparently borrowed most of it's concepts from Smalltalk.

Sounds interesting, though there isn't much info on the page...
I suppose you'll want to finish the program first, though. ;-)

Well, it's nice to see the creator of this program drop in...you 
certainly started something.
BTW, if you haven't already found them, there are some messages about 
the current status and future plans for POV-Ray in 
povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions that you may find 
interesting. Particularly "POV-Team Status Report - September 1, 2000" 
by Chris Cason.
