Thanks for your quick response, Lars.

That would be perfectly ok for me. The lines I outlined could maybe be of
more generic use in other applications, but that's not important. At least
not for me, now.
As I understand it, L3P is your program and you should be able to do
whatever you like with it. If there ever will be LDraw metacommands like "0
CAMERA...", it must be a piece of cake to either add to or replace an
earlier support for "0 L3P OPTIONS -c...". The choice would still be yours.
I don't care so much what the chosen syntax will be, I need the feature. :o)

Close, but no, not exactly what I want.

Yes! Yes! Please!
plus "-imycolors.pov,hills.pov" or "-imycolors.pov -ihills.pov".
, and maybe inside the main .dat:
0 L3P OPTIONS -ihills.pov

Cool! Exciting! Aah, still I just don't know which path to follow. I think
that option 1 is much better.
Or I let L3P make the first frame of the scene and post-process the POV file
to animate it using POV's support for animation.
Thanks a lot, Lars! Now I have to post-process your valueable info. :o)
