  You'd have to e-mail Tim Wegner, Fractint developer (Stone Soup Group) and
POV-Team member, to be certain but I believe that work was progressing on
future versions to be portable. I haven't been on CompuServe's GraphDev
Forum for several months but this is where development and bugfixes were
taking place.

  As far as integrating Fractint into an official version of POV-Ray, I
doubt it.
