	I would personnaly prefer a MPI patch of 3.6 (over PVM, which,
to make it simple, is basically wasting one node).

	I'm not aware of such a port yet, 3.6 is still rather new.
Moreover the fundamental problems with e.g. the radiosity feature
are far from being solved.
	The best attempt towards improving the radiosity results on
multiple CPUs that I know of is in Francois "Wozzeck" Dispot's
PvMegaPOV patch:

	which is another PVM patch based on MegaPOV 0.7 (therefore
it's older than POV 3.5 too, but more "featured" than 3.1g).
