There really isn't any way to do it in POV-Script, you would have to 
implement separate macros for each object. Shooting random rays at the 
object should work for simple objects when you aren't too concerned 
about an even distribution, though.
Are you sure you need it for an arbitrary object? If you could narrow it 
down, it wouldn't be as big of a problem. For example, spheres, boxes, 
cylinders, cones, and triangles would be easy.
