ACtually this workaround will work for me only in the case where my exported
mesh doesn't use Blender "specular texture"; for translating those to POV, I am
using a piment pattern to map over two different finishes, POV won't then layer
textures over a piment pattern, no matter what.

It's been more than two years now since I first tried implementing complete
shader translation from Blender and I have to give up once again, but thanks to
your advice I think I will be able to take it one step further and enable
colored specular highlights when no map influences them.

Thanks
