How do I get the proper functions for defining a perspective camera as a 
user_defined one? There's all kind of stuff I can calculate, but can't 
get it into functions. Been at it for a few days, must say that young 
blokes playing games a meter away doesn't help either.

I'd like to define location look at and angle, possibly roll. Below one 
of many approaches,

Hi Ingo

The code below shows how you can transform the direction-functions for a user
defined camera.

I just noticed a problem with my code. The ordinary cameras doe not produce
exactly the same result as the user defined ones. That's because I'm not
calculating new vRight and vUp vectors after the direction vector has been
calculated. To get same results for the two camera types you can delete the
pLookAt point and set the vDirection vector "manually", e.g. like this:

#declare vDirection = 10*z;

Alternatively you can keep pLookAt and vDirection and then compose a "look at"
transformation and apply it to the vRight and vUp vectors.

No problem. It was an interesting problem to solve.

You don't have to deal much with matrices to do this. (I just showed the
relationship in case anyone is interested.)

Below is some more code for you.

This is only tangentially related:

Would something related to this be the preferred way to set up a scene so that
an object would occupy a specific position on the screen - back calculating to
determine where the camera should be?

So, let's say there are 2 views (I think that might be necessary to get Z), each
showing the same cube (and maybe a reference point like the origin) from a
different vantage point.
I'm presuming that a matrix would be the best way to reverse-project back to
where the camera should be?

It's just something that struck me with the functions, and matrices, and
user-define camera...

BTW:
It would be nice if user defined cameras could be transformed directly like
other cameras. E.g. like this:

camera {
    user_defined
    location 0*z
    direction {
        function { image_width*u }
        function { image_height*v }
        function { image_width/2/tan(radians(Angle/2)) }
    }
    transform {
        LookAtTransform
        AnotherTransform
        translate pLocation
    }
}

- Then one would not have to transform the functions in order to transform the
camera.

The transformation block above does not seem to have any effect on the user
defined camera in the 3.8 version of POV-Ray that I'm using right now on my
Ubuntu PC; 3.8.0-x.freetype.unofficial (g++ 7 @ x86_64-pc-linux-gnu). I haven't
tested this on any 3.8 versions for Windows yet.

That will take some time to digest, thanks again Tor Olav,

Kind of an inverse screen.inc?

Thats what I thought too, but,

This morning after seeing your new code I made a laarge pot of strong 
coffee and started tinkering. It thought me where I went wrong on several 
occasions. 
I consistenly threw away X1_Y and X1_Z components in simmilar constructs 
;(
  #local vT1_X = vtransform(x, LookAtTransform);
  #local X1_X = vT1_X.x;
  #local X1_Y = vT1_X.y;
  #local X1_Z = vT1_X.z;

After getting more grip on your code I turned it in a macro and that adds 
flexibility you won't have with direct transforms.

This way you can spend your attention to the screen --> scene transfer 
and then just call the macro. It should work for most camera types.
I can also see it useful for setting up stereo cams, parallel or toed in. 
Or for greating images with insets where a small region of the image is 
rendered as a detail for a bigger scene.
I added it to a tile rendering camera without problem.
So, a lot of options to investigate
