You do realized that Cinema4D and Maya as well as the WinPOV GUI are not 
platform independant (both Cinema4D and Maya are available for multiple 
platforms but only through a lot of platform specific work you can bet).

Any 'plugin' feature in POV 4 will probably have much more similarity to 
  POV-Ray 3.5 user defined functions and POVMan shaders than to a plugin 
system you might know from another program.
