I don't know what that does, and that may be true with the current way
everything functions.
If WP is going to change things, then I see no reason why something like
CLI_settings {all your CLI / ini stuff}
couldn't serve the same purpose.
And THAT could have the same ifndef functionality where things already declared
outside of the file - in CLI or ini - would preclude redefinition in the
CLI_settings {} block.

Not using that method of running POV-Ray, I'd need to see a specific use example
where a separate file would be necessary. Like I said - maybe not necessarily
get rid of it, but complement it with an in-SDL method to accomplish the same
thing.
If there was a way that POV-Ray could read from inside of an uncompressed
archive file, then we could tie interconnected files together so as to not
inadvertently separate them, yet still be able to read/edit them.
Apparently tar does this.
