I have uploaded bones.inc to:

http://www.magicalrobotics.com/bones.zip

This include file allows the user to declare bones (with a POVray object
attached to a bone) and build them up into skeletons, which can then be posed
and animated by interpolation between poses.  There is also a feature that
allows a POVray object (such as a blob) to be attached to two or more bones.  It
is missing a true inverse kinematics or motion-capture capability, but the basis
is there to add that in the future, and as it is posing a character is pretty
easy.  The zip file includes bones.inc, a readme file with full documentation on
how to use it, two example files using bones.inc, and the GNU licenses.

sample animations using bones.inc:

I'm hoping that someone besides just me will find this useful.
