Perhaps i should emphasize that i wasn't complaining, i just want to
mention that WinPov is not an universal substitute for a command line
version.  The additional options do not really help.

Most editors, probably including emacs, have functions for invoking
external programs like compilers and also include analysis of error
output, but they are designed for command line programs and therefore will
not work with WinPov that easily.  Of course one could redirect the output
to a text file and print it out again in a batch afterwards, but i really
don't thing this is a really acceptable solution also because of the other
disadvantages i mentioned.
