Well, it does /support/ them in the sense that you can use them. Whether 
it supports them /well/ is a perfectly different thing.

You mind adding one (or separate) tasks into the bugtracking system for 
this (http://bugs.povray.org/), so these might be followed-up as time 
permits?

That may well be, but 3.8.2 is the one working successfully in POV-Ray 
3.6.2 for Windows, so I figured it would be easiest to get it to compile 
with 3.7 as well :-)

You're welcome of course to go for integrating 3.9.1 into POV-Ray, 
including Visual Studio 8 and 9 projects and all...
