Not sure whom to contact, but I bet povray.org gives some ideas.

I /do/ sometimes invoke pvengine on a Windows machine the same way.  I'm
automating animations, doing 270-300 frames over a few hours, with Python
generating the povray .inc files from a spreadsheet (where the bulk of the
information is saved).

My goal is to have the same process work on either platform.  But in
distributing this code, I wouldn't try to distribute povray as something
hidden or behind the scenes.  I'd just say "get POV-Ray and install it --
you can use it for *lot's* of other things, then enter a path to it here: [
]."
