they will once code is complete. By the time povray 3.7 was started,
the thought of running raytracing on GPU was a distant dream. Looks
like hardware evolves far faster than software. You can certainly tell
that by how slow paradigms change and new languages with radically new
ideas flourish (motivated by hardware changes anyway)...

The first is the only one that counts, since it's the most recent (and
fairly old already BTW). Laptops always use yesterday's technology.
We shouldn't have to wait for the iPhone to have a proper GPU to begin
any such coding...
