Assuming the scene file author has specifically written in the camera block 
that the aspect ratio should not be changed, then POV should give the person 
starting the render the choice of what to do from your choice - and an 
additional choice of changing the actual image resolution to match the 
aspect ratio fixed in the scene file.
