Today's your lucky day.  Run, don't walk, to 
http://twysted.net/patchstation and pick up a copy of my Superpatch.  
This is a massive patch to POV 3.1 that includes a number of patches 
that were available for POV 3.0, as well as some new patches.  The 
current release is in beta testing, and documentation is sparse.  
Hopefully, I'll have a full version with documentation and the new
povwin 3.1 editor available soon.
