Perhaps of use for those compiling their own code - I run with my own 
patch based upon environment variables for this. See:

http://wiki.povray.org/content/User:Wfpokorny

and specifically:

https://github.com/wfpokorny/povray/tree/feature/unixConsoleFileColumnWrapControl

More documentation on use by clicking on the commit to get the commit 
message in github.

There is too an in progress pull req in #117 looking at the console side 
of wrapping. I "think" unix output only, but with the advantage it pulls 
the current column size information from the active console/terminal 
window.
