I'll answer all here.

Yes I was referring to the latter, my mistake, I read on an very old 
post that The POV-Team had licensed for free a C compiler to make the 
official releases of POV-Ray AND Intel has said that WILL NOT support 
any AMD features since they are competence and that they copy Intel 
stuff and not the other way around, of course this is a lot of bull... 
but since you say now is MSVC++ then would be great to include 
extensions, in the parts where they fit to accelerate IDE and rendering, 
because AMD have at some point different extensions than Intel and maybe 
  more useulf in certain parts of the code, IMO would be a mistake not 
to use a compiler that wont take advantage of those extensions.
