not really a bug. technically, a bug would be a programming error that
results in an incorrect rendering. this may be a misconfigured build system
or somethign to that effect (or may not be, i'll leave that discussion to
Thorsten and friends), but it's not a bug. if something in the POV source
makes a build fail, you can't really have a bug since there is no
executable. compile time errors are not really bugs.

anyway, i'm sure people will be more than helpfull in povray.unix. see you
there :)
