Just tested this. Unfortunately what seems to happen is that POV reads
the global ini but then stops reading any further in your local file :-(
I suppose you could put the line at the _end_ of your local ini but that
would be the opposite of what Klaus is trying to achieve.

One further possibility springs to mind: How about renaming your local
ini file so that POV doesn't automatically read it then referencing it
at the end of your global ini - $HOME/.povray/3.6/local.ini
