  The messages window in WinPOV can be considered a "terminal", so it should
work as expected there (if it doesn't (I haven't tested), I think it should
be fixed). The raytracer made with SDL uses \r to print progress information
in a single line and it would certainly look bad if each update would be
printed in a new line...

  And by the way, I'm liking the idea of lines printed with #debug having
a different color than the other lines in the messages window (and in the
output of the unix version if the output is an ANSI terminal). Any chance
this could be done?
