Thanks for that link. Yes, the POVray scripting language has grown over the
years and I can see the problems here.

My model is simply constructed from a list of explicitly defined primitives,
so there is no looping or anything like that. In this case the problem would
be converting the POV primitives to triangle meshes. I had wondered if a
utility existed to do this, but I do agree that for the more general case it
would be even more difficult.
