Is the main thing to provide the user with the images or with the ability
to render these images themselves and make their own inputs into the source
file, i.e.
"you fill in the blanks, and the program will spit out a realistic
rendering according to your specification?"
If all the end user needs is images without their own input, then of course
you could render the images and post them to the web and let them sift
their way through them.
I can't see a way to get user input without them being able to see the
source file unless someone programs a patch.  Maybe something that would
work like this -
"include http://something.something.something.com/file.inc"
and then povray uses and processes the file from a website and immediately
destroys it afterwards.  Even then there'd probably be a way around it if
someone were determined.
