TOK and I helped Novado create PointWriter to do this kind of thing.

To make jr happy, I'll suggest that you could use VISIO from M$ Office to draw a
series of line segments.
Maybe the nice people over at visguy.com could slap together a nice little tool
to apply the appropriate spline type, and output a snippet of code to directly
paste into a scene file.

I tried the Inkscape route. Had a spline of 32 points, which I could indeed save
in POVray format. But when I tried to render over half of the points gave an
error. With one exception they were all duplicate points. Others with a similar
experience?

I've never had a problem between inkscape and povray, apart from object
naming. POVRay doesn't accept names with hyphens.
Try to be a little more precise by giving a simple example with the
POVRay error message.
We'll be able to help you.

Simple and straight forward. Just tested it under win11 and it still works
fine,,
