Why don't we simply try to build a POV-C++ library?  You would write the code in
full OOP in C style, compile it and that would give you a scene renderer or
anything else as useful... i don't know...  I just like the idea of programming
POV-Ray in C++ just as I do with OpenGL...  That would be cool then to merge
these two...  OpenGL for the preview and POV-Ray for the final...

But that's up to you, I'm already programming in parallel with OpenGL and
POV-Ray to test my camera movements and such...
