Aside: New thread as original not recovered after the crash with respect
to the news server itself, which leaves Thunderbird unable to continue it.

[insert long back story here] ... My thinking was the ini include
searching of the library path was working fairly well despite what some
had said.
I recently re-enabled the parsing of a users local povray.ini and
povray.conf files stored in $HOME/.povray/3.8
Turns out. If the ini file you want isn't in your local directory - and
the library path where it exists isn't the first listed in the reported
library paths parsing cannot find it and dies. :-(
The only immediately useful thing for those with $HOME/.povray
povray.ini files, you can use the shipped ini files if you change:
Library_Path="__POVLIBDIR__"
Library_Path="__POVLIBDIR__/ini"
Library_Path="__POVLIBDIR__/include"
to
Library_Path="__POVLIBDIR__/ini"
Library_Path="__POVLIBDIR__"
Library_Path="__POVLIBDIR__/include"
With that change I'm able to run the following (reminder yuqk is
linux/unix only):
yuqk playpen.pov include_ini="quickres.ini[1024x768, AA 0.3]"
or
yuqkZ playpen.pov +ini"quickres.ini[1024x768, AA 0.3]"
Of course, with that set up you can then only reach local directory ini
files afterward because those are all that will be found.
I was getting fooled as to the state of things. I mostly run without
$HOME./povray local povray.ini and povray.conf file. So, when I added
the ini included directory to the library path files, things worked -
because that path happened to be the first in the list of library
directories.

Aside(2): The yuqk fork itself does not ship the ini directory of files
at present. They existing ones are very much out of date.
