How much of a "language" does POV-Ray actually need? How bare-bone can a 
human readable fast parsing textual interface be? For example, when I 
craete scene's in Python I enroll all loops so POV-Ray has not to do it 
and the parsing speeds up quite a lot.

Could it work, a bare-bone SDL and a pre-processor in a good scripting 
language, so all libraries of that are also usable?

(the pre-processor could then be made to also output other scene formats 
OpenGL, WebGL etc)
