had a first quick look, a couple of comments only.

looks like you can use some of POV-Ray's "built-in" stuff to advantage.  the
'frame_number' for instance.  the idea of (re)writing a shell script which gets
executed by an .ini is new to me, and looks interesting; thinking that the
'Parse_String()' macro is what you're looking for instead.

fwiw, if (ap.pov) "The first second is static", then that code does not
"belong".  recommend splitting the generation of the initial frames from the
game/move animation.
