Here's an idea:

Allow the option of possibly not doubling up the feild lines, but
instead leaving them black. This will make it easier to make a utility
to combine different frames as you can just load two frames into an
array and simply add the frames to eachother- as opposed to the
slightly more complicated process of figuring out which elements are
the correct rows and interlacing them into a single frame. 

Just an idea. 

Also, it might be possible to make a script in povray SDL to combine
odd and even frames into single frames by forming a triangle mesh- two
triangles for each line and image mapping the appropriate image onto
each set of lines. 

Again.. just some ideas.

I don't really know much about the povray source code so disregard the
following if it sounds really stupid, but.. for every other frame, why
couldn't povray just reopen the rendered image for the last frame and
replace the approprate rows with the rows for the current frame? 

It does seem sort of ridiculous to render the two frames in parralel.
But would it really be hard to just reopen the image from the last
frame for the current frame?
