There is a thread over here: http://www.inivis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1903 that talks to POVRay in general. I've used POVRay 3.7 with AC3D 7 and 8 on windows 8 and linux without much problem. I do often hand edit the .pov files that ac3d generates, but ac3d does a much cleaner job than blender in exporting good .pov files.

In the "Render parameters" box you can put command line switches to control the POVRay output. My string "+P +A0.2 +FN32 +UA +w1100 +h700 ac3dpovfile.pov"
Means: Pause after Rendering, Antialiasing setting 0.2, output 32 bit PNG files, Using an alpha channel, 1100 pixels wide, 700 pixels high
