You are kidding, right? If anything, the POV scenes should be more 
portable. If it runs on one platform, it should run *exactly* the same 
on another, regardless of the hardware or operating system. Otherwise, 
it is an indication of a problem with the port.(and would lead to lots 
of support problems)

This started out as a discussion about the source code, you started 
talking about scene files without clearly stating the switch(apparently 
*nobody* knew you weren't talking about the source). So you were the one 
mixing the two.
