2 things here:

1.  I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that povr is a fork, and it's
purpose is to improve and fix some longstanding issues with the official povray
source code.  So breaking older scenes is probably not the primary concern.

2.  I thought that this was what the #version directive was for.  Can't you
sniff the scene version and include a fork in the wrapper?   If the version is
old, use the old way, and if it's new, use the new way?
