More important: Show that every potential user of POV-Ray on even just there 
three officially supported platforms has a C/C++ compiler to compile the 
plug-ins not available for this platform.  And don't get me started about 
platform-specific plug-ins.  This whole discussion always ends up in the 
same obvious points getting mentioned, and I really fail to see why so many 
people don't first try to think about the potential problems (when they are 
told there are problems) rather than expecting them to be spoonfed to them 
<sigh>
