None of the variants is standard C++.  And note you won't find any such 
port to specific platforms in the POV-Ray core code - it is portable per 

se because it complies with the standard and does not need to be ported.

Also note the #ifdef LINUX is incorrenct because only some of the 
various flavours of Linux support this.

This whole thread is - like its predecessors - completely pointless 
because it lacks examples what such a feature can be useful for that 
won't be better solved with a different technique.  I don't know any 
(and don't come up with nonsense like 'controlling Excel from a POV-SDL 
script').
