I've done some animation for the election-day on my little island, using PovRay.
To set-up the project was a little to complex for the ini-files.
It would be a very cool thing, heaving conditional directives within the
ini-files, like:
##########################################################
Antialias=Off
Input_File_Name=election.pov
Initial_Frame=1
Final_Frame=23
Display_Gamma=2.0
Width=1440
Height=115
Declare=FileToImport=2
#switch (FileToImport)
#case (1)
Output_File_Name=Canditates-01-a
Declare=GlobalDivider=20
Declare=FramesAtTheEnd=250
#break
#case (2)
Output_File_Name=;02 = Canditates-01-b
Declare=GlobalDivider=25
Declare=FramesAtTheEnd=250
#break
....
#end
##########################################################
In this case, I would only need to edit the "Declare=FileToImport=..." entry and
everything else is done automatically.
I had more then 17 different files to import and all with different conditions
ahead...
The result can be watched here:

After rendering, I've used Avisynth for the quick-compositing. The rendering
took just a view seconds, it was "almost realtime" ;) but the fiddling with the
inifile took unnecessary long time.
Best rgds,
Holger

Why wait for POV-Ray 4.0 when you can nest ini files /now/?
--------------------------------foo.ini
Antialias=Off
Input_File_Name=election.pov
Initial_Frame=1
Final_Frame=23
Display_Gamma=2.0
Width=1440
Height=115
candidates.ini[2]
--------------------------------candidates.ini
[1]
Output_File_Name=Canditates-01-a
Declare=GlobalDivider=20
Declare=FramesAtTheEnd=250
[2]
Output_File_Name=Canditates-01-b
Declare=GlobalDivider=25
Declare=FramesAtTheEnd=250
;-)
You can also move the "candidates.ini[2]" line on the command line
instead, for the benefit of not having to edit the ini file over and
over again before rendering.
