Unfortunately I run on linux and I'm not in a position to offer one.

The proposed updates come on three fronts:

1) New interpolation modes. Centering of existing 1 & 2 modes. Some 
performance tuning in mostly moving some checking to the parsing phase.

2) Better df3/density file documentation.

3) Additional include macros to flush out the df3 support Christoph 
started with the ARRAYS_WriteDF3 macro added to 3.7.0.

Only (1) strictly requires the new build to test.

Much of what is documented in the wiki pages applies to current releases 
and I intentionally wrote the include file updates so they work with 
3.7.0 and later.

The macros include, arraycoupleddf3s.inc, can be found in the 
documentation at:

http://wiki.povray.org/content/User:Wfpokorny/DensityFilearraycoupleddf3s

and these macros can be used with the current interpolation types of 0,1 
and 2.
