I achived little more then 5 lines (still too long for me). Perhaps some other
povers make it shorter. Here is my version:

#macro T(O)(min_extent(O)*(1+y)+max_extent(O)*(x+z))/2#end#default{pigment{rgb
#macro N(Y)#local _=text{ttf"arial"chr(65+Y)1,0}object{_ translate-T(_)rotate
Y*y*90}#end 1}finish{diffuse.5}}plane{y,0finish{brilliance 0}}intersection{N(0
)N(1)}camera{look_at 3*z-1translate 1-<2,7,86>/35}background{1}global_settings
{radiosity{error_bound.05count 100low_error_factor.05}ambient_light 0}
light_source{-2+4*y 1}

I have removed some vasted spaces, changed some things for better obuscation and
recalculated some things. Also I replaced O with  _ for obfuscation but if you
leave O as in your sig then you don't need parameter O for macro T.

I think radiosity is not good idea for sig: it makes sig and render longer with
your settings. Perhaps try area_light.
