  The problem with such a thing as automatic aspect ratio (IOW the
resolution of the image to be rendered affects the camera settings)
is that it breaks the boundary between the frontend and backend engines.
It is not guaranteed that a future version of POV-Ray, where the barrier
between these two things might be very pronounced (due to things like
distributed rendering), can support that.
