Sure would be nice if there were a way for POV-Ray to encode a lot of the
critical settings (command line quality/AA/etc. options) as well as possibly
camera/lookat and all light vector locations, clock values into the JPG/PNG
image similar to the way the digital cameras put all the ISO/focus/etc info
tagged in there (even using simple metatags would be nice).  This would allow me
to keep track of some limited link to at least a rudimentary amount of the
settings used to generate an image many months later amid so many test
renders...

Appologize if this is already covered...a quick search yielded only the
following:

    http://wiki.povray.org/content/Reference:File_Output_Options

        This metadata contains the POV-Ray version, render date/time (GMT),
platform (e.g. x86_64-pc-win), and compiler used to build the POV-Ray
executable.

which seems relatively limited in details...
