Thomas' carrier pigeon just arrived with a batch of tuits, so here's the
newest semi-official Windows build:

https://github.com/c-lipka/povray/releases/tag/v3.7.1-alpha.8431463%2Bav74

Sadly there weren't enough round ones in the batch to also build a
64-bit binary, so 64-bit users eager to test-drive the new version will
have to make do with the 32-bit SSE2 edition for now. (Shouldn't be too
much of a problem though unless you want to render memory-hungry scenes.)
