This would be good.

This is probably best kept as an include file, but could be included in the
standard distribution.

How?  You can do some great glows with what's already there.

As long as POV lacks a GUI editor, this one remains problematic.  OTOH, a button
next to the "Render" button that launches a Q5 render, or something like that,
could be useful.

In fact, along with such a button, the ability to query the current quality
level (+Q from the command line) would be useful for scenes.  I already do all
kinds of LOD anyway; linking it to the current +Q option would make this
feature much more useful for me.
