The documentation and installation instructions are in the archive.
I'll be building a webpage soonish, I hope.  I just wanted to get it
online so Ken would stop bugging me. :)  

Here's a section from the docs:

 What is the Superpatch?

          The Superpatch is an unofficial build of POV-Ray.
          Like many unofficial builds, it adds new features
          to POV.  However, the Superpatch is intended to
          fulfill a loftier goal than merely to offer new
          features.  The goal of the Superpatch is to offer
          as many features as possible in a single
          unofficial build, allowing you to use the new
          features from a diverse collection of unofficial
          builds in a single package.

          The Superpatch was conceived and executed by Ron
          Parker, par### [at] fwicom, but it contains the work 
          of a great many people...

          The Superpatch is an UNOFFICIAL build of POV-Ray
          and is not supported by the POV-Team.
