I've been working on my own Acorn (ie RISCOS) port of POVray 2.2 for
some time now, but it won't be ready for a while (vague time units R us)
This means I actually know quite a bit about the internals of POV, as I
have ripped and hacked them into a complete mess recently :)

When the POV 3 source is available, I shall do an 'enhanced' Acorn port.
I think Adam Hamilton stated somewhere that he intends to port it as
well, when it's available.

(By enhanced I mean with my sooper dooper math library used, I'm
currently getting over 200% of the normal speed on a non-FPA machine:)
(But sadly the pictures it makes are broken :( )
