well...

1. create empty master.pov
2. set COUNTER=1
3. set FILENAME to name of first pov file in given set 
4. append to master.pov file

     #if(frame_number=$(counter))
       #include "$(FILENAME).pov"
     #endif

5. set FILENAME to name of next pov file in given set
6. if FILENAME not empty then increase COUNTER and jump to 4)
7. render master.pov using initial frame=1 and final frame=COUNTER

Helped ?
