I would not have posted here except that it was requested that I post here
by Hugo.  Also I attempted to shift the discusion into a more programming
oriented direction.

As for non-sense I do not understand why how giving other programs access to
Povray's internal data is non-sense, or why it cannot be made portable
among machines with similar architecture?
