I'm currently working on a patch to have HDRI input/output in POV-Ray  
using OpenEXR and possibly also Radiance HDR. The actual input/output  
routines are done, but getting unclipped output is more hassle than it's  
worth in 3.6.0, and the 3.6.1 source for Windows has not yet been  
released. I'm not changing any Windows-specific files though, so I might  
try merging the Linux source.
I am also considering some kind of support for exposure control, but I  
don't have anything solid in that area yet.
