Grr...  I know this have been brought up before, but why can't POV accept
dlls to add new features to it, like Moray? Yes, I know they're platform
specific - but it would be great if this ability could be added even just to
the Windows version.  Yeah, sure - I suppose they'd be quite a technical
problems (like what sort of procedures would be required in the first place
to write the dlls) but I can only hope ;)

From someone that prefers to only use the official POV binaries, it's
annoying to see so many great ideas/features only available from
"home-built" patched versions. :(


Just my 2 pence,

Matt
