A good learning opportunity if nothing else (it was for me), but Paul Bourke's
page provides a full working c code to produce a df3 file.  Probably about a
five or ten minute effort and you could turn it into a conversion program.  Not
as accessible as a new format, but at least if you render it multiple times,
POV-Ray doesn't have to read an ASCII file every time.  Seems like a trivial
patch to switch it to ASCII-based df3 files too.
