It would be very difficult and complex. It would basically require 
changing the entire way colors are handled, storing information on the 
amount of light of each color at each polarization angle, to do it well 
would probably require using frequency distributions to describe light 
color...building a raytracer from scratch with these features would be 
far easier than adding it to POV.
