I think building under MinGW64 using the Unix front end is The Right Way 
to go.  You pick up all the switch parsing; common code base. Way back, 
I built my posdos3.1 that way.  Plus, we avoid this crap where the M$ 
version only builds with a compiler no longer available.
As long as there's no Windows Loop needed, this is better.

Do you have povray built like this with the unix front end?
