Cut and patse from povray-3.50c/configure

  if test -z "$CC"; then
    case "`uname -s`" in
    *win32* | *WIN32*)


...

   case "`(uname -sr) 2>/dev/null`" in
    "SunOS 5"*)



which bit of those are not detecting which platform the script is 
running on. 

That is beside the point though, I wasn't having a go at povray's
build per se (although a working --without-x would be nice for
3.51 :-) just the general crappiness of all the stuff 
that gets run to create and build, from autoconf, a million
m4 macros, right down to configure, especially for cross platform 
stuff.
