Does anyone have a good generalized POV-Ray parser?

I'm working on adding physics and collision detection to POV-Ray, and I need
to read in the scene to preprocess it - see the conversation in
povray.general for more info ..

The only generalized POV-Ray parser that exists is POV-Ray itself.  I think
there's a parser for the 2.2 syntax, and there are parsers for subsets of
the mesh and mesh2 syntax, but that's it.

Thanks - I'm working on a physics package (complete) for POVRay animations -
ideally, I'd have to read in the scene file even if much of it isn't
'understood'.

Do you know if there is a consolidated BNF / Grammer version?  I could hack
that into a YACC/BISON version ...

I don't think so.  I think the only description of the POV syntax is the one
scattered throughout the POV documentation.
