Lothar, Claus, and anyone interested  :o)

	I've finally managed to compile POV-Ray 3.5c on IRIX 6.5
with gcc-3.2.1 and a statically linked libpng (all other libs
are normally shared). I DIDN'T TEST IT AT ALL. Available here:

PS1: IRIX is a f***ing environment for compiling anything. I spent
      several days for nothing trying to compile the successive
      versions of gcc (starting at gcc-3.0) when they appeared online,
      until I got this gcc-3.2.1 working with a single mod in the
      source makefile. POV-Ray was almost as difficult to get here.
      (only gcc-2.8.1, from 1998, was already installed, and could
      not work properly).

PS2: I'm currently working on a rewrite of the ./configure script
      that won't be targetted towards Linux, but with compilation
      flags detected on-the-fly. It's moslty ready, however it still
      fails on IRIX. Not surprising though... Damnit.
