I see .... so your problem is, that due to the look_at you have an
extra-rotation of your camera, which you can't use easily for your cylinder.
Hm ... all I can think about is to re-compute the position of the camera
with the vector-transformation-functions of Pov (vrotate etc.) and use the
resulting vector to calculate the position of the cylinder.
