/That/, as I mentioned as well, is only the case if they don't have a 
"#version" directive, or when you're rendering to a "gamma-aware" file

gamma is only the tip of the iceberg.

Try feeding POV-Ray output into POV-Ray again as a texture image - 
that's where things appear to get /really/ hairy!
