I think he is asking if the tesselated mesh will "inherit" the texture 
and other attributes of the original object. Something to think about, 
but I think it is sufficient to only do the geometry.

I mean that when you generate complicated csg with texturing for every component
and want tesselate it you must rebuild complicated texturing, right ? What about
calculating all parameters of texture at vertex and generate textured triangles
?

probaly you should write something like

if (number_of_uvcoords>0)
{
  Object->Data->UVCoords = (UV_VECT
*)POV_MALLOC(number_of_uvcoords*sizeof(UV_VECT), "triangle mesh data");
}
else
{
Object->Data->UVCoords = NULL;
}

and check all places where Object->Data->UVCoords is used
to avoid refferencing arrays at NULL pointer
for example at POV_FREE for this pointer
