We're thinking of adding some generic per-frame hook as a command so  
that you don't have to use Movie Recorder at all to generate a series  
of POVray files that you want to post-process before rendering (you  
would use the not-yet-documented "export" command to generate them).

This hook, a command named "perframe", is now in there.  It will be available in tomorrow's build if that works.  There is documentation here:
