MegaPOV (http://nathan.kopp.com/patched.htm) includes a patch to return the
co-ordinates of objects' bounding boxes (min_extent and max_extent), which
will be included in POV 3.5.

I don't think there's any way to return the vista buffer co-ords (without
patching the source), but as I understand it the vista buffers are the 3D
bounding boxes projected onto the 2D camera space.  If you didn't want to
patch POV-Ray, it should be possible to duplicate the vista-buffer code in
POV-script....
