It's not my idea to make POV4.0 a complete rewrite (although I agree that it would
probably be a good thing).  But didn't the POV-Team say that POV4.0 would be a
complete
rewrite in C++?

If I'm wrong about this, then I have no problems whatsoever with POV3.5, but if that's
right, I really think starting with POV4.0 would have been a better idea (and no: I'm
not
telling you what to do, I'm telling you what I would do)
