Finally, after so many years of laziness, I decided to enhance the
mesh compressor program to the POV-Ray 3.5 era. That is, it should
now have full support for mesh2's (reading and writing), as well
as uv-mapping in regular meshes.

  Chris Colefax is still working on the PCM macros and they are not
yet available, so you will only be able to test pov-pov and pov-pcm-pov
conversion. However, I think that most bugs should be possible to find
this way.

  Only Windows-version of the beta, sorry.
  (Oh dear, I would have never thought I would ever say something like
that, but... I'm not quite willing to publish the source before all the
most obvious bugs are fixed... Rest assured, however, that the
command-line version is extremely system-independent. :) )

  You can download the Windows beta version here:
