While povray supports shell-outs on the command line, if this option is used
in an ini file povray ignores it.

This might be related to the other post in this newsgroup about trailing
CRLF on the shell command.

Can't be.  The problem here is in INI files.  Shell-outs seem to work as
they should on a command line, just not in an INI file.

So is the problem with the CRLF on the end of the line.  The CRLF gets
picked up from the INI file and passed on as part of the shellout command.
