That's not what I meant, and it's not something I was planning to do or
would find easy.  If someone could arrange THAT database and there's value
to it (?), it could go in.

What I meant was that I would encourage each entry submission for the
collection to say what version of povray was used.  A historian could look
to see just how primitive DBK images were;  an "offical release" purist
could be inspired by the special effects of Mega to try it; the pov-team
might be impressed by a hand-coded patch to implement it, etc.....

Of course, I also envision  a Columbian magazine editor or a kid wanting to
be inspired by just how good a landscape image can be to  would be enabled
in their search by the categories of "country of origin" and "theme."
