Didn't I already mention that the rendercontext
setup/teardown calls are the platform-specific ones that
(unfortunately) did have to be used?

WinPOV has a bunch of Win32-specific modules
to implement the user interface. That's
where the window and its handle comes from.
So this is not just a POV patch, but
a WinPOV patch too.

But by using the existing render window,
I'm minimizing the amount of Win-specific
code added to WinPOV. Otherwise I'd have
to create an HWND, give it a wndproc routine,
destroy it, etc. etc.
