I'm probably just going to start making directories and putting in .txt, .inc,
..pov, and zip/7z/tar.gz files

That way at least things _exist_, are collected into a directory tree, and can
be preserved - whether organized or not.

After that, I'll consider what ought to be an include file, an Insert Menu file,
or something that's more along the lines of a reference graphic or collection of
files that amount to a tutorial.

 * I don't see what you've done as a "problem" - working around old limitations
involves applying creative solutions to accomplish a task.  Those are still very
valuable examples for people to draw inspiration from.  They are not wasted
effort, and ought to be included in a POV-Ray reference library.

The most important thing is to preserve things that are useful and will be used.
Other things can be added to collection as people uncover things and submit them
for inclusion.
