I can get send(-pr) you whatever I have allthough I don't think it will 
be of much use. It compiles out of the box with one patch where you 
state it's not an official POV release. Let me know if your interested.

Good news is that updating giram after pov has been updated is something 
I can probably handle as I am running it now together with a statically 
linked pov 3.5 for the last couple of days
