True, unfortunately. But (depending on what you want and whether
you're willing to go through extra programs) you can try this (should
work partially):
    1. Re-export your mesh in one of the common formats (3ds/obj etc)
preferrably obj.
    2. Use uvmapper  (www.uvmapper .com - also has tutorial on how to
use it ) or lithiumunwrap (http://www.geocities.com/lithunwrap/) to
'paint' your required texture/image.
    3. Convert to pov using objuvpov

Depending on what exactly it is you want to do, there may be other
'solutions'

Hope this helps (and isn't too tedious :))'
