Thomas, Mr, thanks!
Not only silence discourage to me.
The community Blender is very strongly attached to the renderer of Cycles.
The Blender developers constantly create obstacles for those who wants to use
other renderers.
They constantly break Python API.
Now my exporter doesn't work with Blender-2.74.5.
Instead of development of the exporter I looked for the reasons which don't give
to the program to work.
I corrected, but lost nerves and time.

Users of Povray can help if provide source of a full Povray-scene which Cycles
won't be able to create. ( Either it is heavy, or it is difficult)
Well for a scene:
1. Peeling paint isosurface.
2. Colored glass with refraction caustics
3. Reflecting surfaces with reflection caustics.
4. Both: 2 and 3
5. Polygon to circle loft.
6. Boolean with spline-based objects.
7. difference{
sphere{} // or cylinder{}
cone{}
}
and so on...

If I have some samples of scenes, I will be able to adjust the exporter to
repeat it using Blender.
Independently I will long go.
But I go!  :)
