Actually that's not precisely true, you cannot *distribute* a POV-Ray
version modified this way, nothing prevents you from doing this just for
yourself (except that it will be a lot of work(*) and you would not gain
anything from it).
(*) remember that the input file need to be searchable, therefore you
would have to create an internal buffer for it and modify the file
access functions to use this buffer instead.
