If you are interested in STL from povray object, as long as that object
is solid (aka, with a defined interior) and finite, there is two patches
to combine from hg-povray to make you happy.

1. tesselation (turn 3D finite object in a mesh)
2. save mesh as stl: stl_save

So far, the generated STL is WITHOUT colour information.
(two standards is a bad idea for STL)
