I agree. POVRay should be a stand alone system. Write the script and POVRay
renders it.

My 2 cents is to look at actionscript in flash or JavaScript. Both are
object based with very strong tools. Ad the povray object classes and it
could do anything. The JavaScript engine in Firefox could be incorporated
given it is open source already.
