Hi Randall,
Take a lok at PovClipse (http://povClipse.sourceforge.net) as well, it's an
Eclipse plugin for editing Povray scene files.
It covers your point 2, 3, 5 and 6.
Officially PovClipse does not support Linux, but it ***should*** run. I've
reports from people using it on a Linux plattform.
Regards,
Wolf
