This discussion may well be dead, but if anybody is listening,
you'll find a modified version of Povray 3.5 at

http://www.maths.monash.edu.au/~leo/relativity/sr-photography/

You'll find sample images, animations and source files.

This version produces relativisticly correct images when the camera moves
relative  to the other objects in an other wise non-relativistic scene
(i.e. relativistic effects are only accounted for between the camera and
objects). This version also ignores any colour or intensity shifts that
arise from the relativistic motions.
