When I jumped into VRML a few years ago (and I jumped out for various
reasons) it seemed that background images could be mapped to a sphere, and
POV-Ray can do that easily.  The last I saw in VRML, it was a text based
language, so getting POV-Ray to write VRML ready files shouldn't be too
hard.Just look up the #read and #write directives in the docs

Plus, Crossroads lists both POV_Ray and VRML1 and 2 in it's support list.

and I found one tool to go from VRML to POV-Ray

I'll put this on my list of things to explore for the Cyclopedia.
