I'll try not to let slip what happens in "The Truth" then :)

Darn - OK, I've spotted my flaw (which was to let other people do the
testing rather than reproduce the fault myself and then work on it. Bad me).
While I was tidying up I've also made the #version less of a hack (it now
only includes the line if you've selected one of the MegaPOV formats to
export to) and made mesh and trimap exports use the same technique (they'd
have failed in France too!). Curiously MegaPOV 0.5A seems to parse even the
Trimap version faster than the official 3.1g does - and unlike 3.1g you can
place multiple copies of a single UV mesh (Trimap, mesh, or mesh2) object in
a scene without the UV mapping going haywire. I guess that means it's a
problem with 3.1g...

...still, even with the official 3.1g you can load a UV-mapped mesh and
translate it around the scene (oh - I didn't try scaling it, I only tried
rotating and translating it) thanks to Chris Colefax's Trimap macro. Cool.

God that must have been a pain! Especially if you're using large meshes.
People really should, IMO, complain more often. I hope this is the best
version you've seen, I plan to update the documentation and the web site,
oh, "sometime soon now" (probably sometime in the next few days).
