I guess that it's little bit too late for you (you mentioned deadline), 
but for future note (and self-promotion :)  those, who feel adventerous 
enough to try patched POV-Ray, could use POVMan for such purpose. See my 
posting in p.binaries.images from 2003-05-18, titled 'FSSS'.
Of course it works only with POVMan (as there is shader for such 
purpose) and it ain't perfect: it is faked (that's from where F comes) 
with respect to light-source (main light source is given as parameter), 
in some cases shadows get really messy (iirc it appears in cases, when 
object has several 'intersections' toward light source) etc. But it is 
relatively fast and totally non-transparent and in some limited cases 
could provide satisfactory results with little tinkering.
