Common to point people to what might seem better places to ask things.
Seeing as how POV-Ray is run on several different platforms the rendering
engine itself is the same.  Windows specific things are simply that, Windows
specific  :-)
Anyway, so many postings get mislaid that it's always being brought up so
the place to check about these groups first and foremost is the
povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions group.
In fact, as Chris alluded to yet did not say exactly, the unofficial.patches
group is probably where you would go with questions the like of yours after
you know at least that much.  Posting this in general or advanced-users
definitely would be placed better there than in the moray one(s) or here.
We all try and take it with a grain of salt knowing how this is a learned
thing.  Nobody's perfect, but please don't cross post to several groups with
the same thing.
And yes, MegaPov at www.nathan.kopp.com/patched.htm is what you seek.
