During my current cave experiments, I thought it would be useful to have
access to mesh data, to more effectively place things on the mesh
surface. Using trace() against the mesh works, but it's not very
efficient when the mesh geometry is somewhat complex.
So I searched to see if someone ever made a patch to access mesh data,
in a way that could allow to loop over the triangles, and found that
Warp had a tentative patch for this:
http://news.povray.org/povray.unofficial.patches/thread/%3CXns900D79CAEseed7%40povray.org%3E/
I don't know if he ever actually created such a patch or was only
exposing the idea, but I think something exactly like that would be
terrifically useful.
So, my question is, would it be too hard to implement?
P.S.: Yes, Clipka, that's a covert feature request... ;)

It was done in megapov, and it's currently also in hg-povray.

Megapov was amazing... and underused, I see, at least on my side. I
don't know how I missed that feature back then.

Thats great! I will try it... should have some real-world uses for it,
apart from "rockyfying" my cave.

Cannot compile hg-povray... I get a bunch of boost errors (undefined
references): are the libraries requirements different from povray
master? I'm on Ubuntu 14.04, and can compile povray master and uberpov
without problems.

Boost 1.50 broke some stuff, and support has only been added quite a
while after the official 3.7.0 release; hg-povray might still be based
on a version of POV-Ray that didn't support boost 1.50 or later.

Did you put on configure line LIBS="-lboost_system -lboost_thread" ?
What is the version of boost on ubuntu 14.04 ?

No... I used to need that configure option with the first iterations
of 3.7 on Ubuntu 12.04, but at some point it wasn't need anymore.

1.54.0

...and my idea for covering the mesh surface works too (tough it needs
some work still). I think it will be useful to "furrify" mesh objects too.
