maybe to bring this unfertile discussion to an end;
I just turned on my old window$ box, downloaded cygwin (of cause only 
the essentials), the generic sources of POVRay and compiled a cygwin'd
command line version without problems, ..., and who has expected it ? NO 
SPLASH SCREEN ;-) just the normal stats (if you don't forget the -D option)

for all of you out there, who are annoyed by the splash screen, the 
whole procedure took less then one hour (90% downloading), ... , and 
imagine how much time you save if you are calling it just through a 
terminal instead of pushing all the graphical gimmicks through the net 
to display it via a VNC client.
