I've been learning VBScript and have realized that it would be a great way
to extend POV-Ray's features.  VBS could be used as a go-between for povray
and other applications.

Scratch that.  Povray will not shell-out to a VB script.

  Please remember that VBScript is a Windows-only feature, while POV-Ray isn't.

however a scripting language interface would be a real plus, and it would be
nice if the script interface could handle any script I choose - such as js,
vbs, perl etc etc in a similar way the ASP does.

on the other hand, you could always build in python support....

  So the language used by POV-Ray is not a scripting language?

I have found that with the capabilities provided by POV-Ray I do not need a
scripting language. There *was* a time when I used perl to write a script
that generated POV-Ray code, but I don't even need that, anymore.

  Of course POV-Ray script could be a lot faster (as perl is).
  Perhaps in 4.0...
