I took the liberty to update and post it yesterday ;)
It's in povray.binaries.utilities
It' not complete and it probably needs a few extra enhancements, like
better syntax highlighting and a good check for all keywords (I don't
think I got all new ones into it), and atmosphere should be put back in
for backwards compatibility.
I named it v1.99beata1 because of the (probably) missing keywords.

Ohh, btw. I didn't ask for permission from the either the author or the
other ones that have done updates on it, but I hope noone get angry with
me for such an oversight ;)
