I guess the timeline for POV-Ray proper will be as follows:


Step 1: Add multiprocessor support. (Done.)

Step 2: Add general multi-node rendering support. (Pending. From what 
little I know of Knight's Corner, this would also be needed to utilize KC.)

Step 3: Port the rendering engine to CUDA, if still of interest by that 
time.


Of course that doesn't bar any third party from porting POV-Ray to CUDA 
right now.
