What if one did something like the above. The database would contain the
complete current and past project in one file. Beside that one would have the
complete set of current versions as text files in the working dir(s). One could
feed POV-Ray the current text file(s) or the database and it would extract the
current version and render it.

Several of the editors out there are very configurable (language servers et al),
I think one could write a program that makes the construct above feasible. With
a dedicated POV-Ray editor it should be no problem at all to work this way.

In similar vain for the documentation. Stick it in a database based ebook like
thing. When one "installes" an include file, its documentation should be added
to the database so it is available in the help reader. Keywords to the index and
with full text search and may be made available in the language server.

SQLite files are not small, but 7zip can do wonders to them (for distribution)

Just thoughts,
