Aero (http://www.aero-simulation.de) is a really cool little rigid body 
mechanics simulation program, and it has old Povray output support.  Only 
problem is it's old, X-win only, and it tends to crash on my linux system 
once in a while (Aero v1.7).

Christoph Hormann's physics work in POV is really awesome, but setting up 
complex rigid body collisions in Povray's text editor is challenging.  Aero 
is very useful for setting up and testing a complex scene with rigid body 
collisions.

Just wondering if anybody has come across a similar utility or a Windows 
ported version of Aero, or if anyone can recommend a good mechanics 
simulation program that would allow some sort of interfacing with Povray.
