You can use Wings 3D to import Adobe Illustrator files (.ai).
If you are using CorelDraw you can export your shape to
.ai format and open it in Wings 3D and extrude it there.
Later you can export the result to Povray as a mesh.
Wings 3D is available at:

As the others said, Crossroads 3D or 3Dwin are a good solution.
