UPDATE:

I just stopped by there and it looks like they decided to
stop including the source as part of the standard package.
The executable package is about 3megs and you can also
download the source at an additional 1.3 megs. Add the two
together and that's nearly 4.5 megs of software.
I guess the decision was made because not everbody who uses
povray also has an interest in modifying the source code.
