I have been working on this one:
https://github.com/mjhorvath/POVRay-Updated-Screen-Inc
It modifies the original to work with orthographic camera too.
It also can report the 2D screen coordinates of a 3D point.

Oh, I certainly agree with that! However, it does not come easy and
needs a lot of corrections and rewriting before it is even basically
acceptable to me. An extra challenge is to do it in English which is not
my native language (which does not make writing in my /native/ languages
any easier though).
