1.  A Linux version (even running under WINE would be great).  I do
realize this would be a huge undertaking (I've read the FAQ on this one),
but at the moment I run Moray under VMware - it's usable, but I find it's
now one of a very small number of applications that I actually need
Windows for any more.

2.  Occasionally, the communication between Moray and POV-Ray dies and
then Moray becomes really unresponsive.  I can eventually get the programs
talking again, but it's a matter of "click menu, wait 15 seconds,
click menu item, wait 15 seconds" - it's doable, but really annoying when
you're in the "zone".

3.  Import of .pov files would be *great* - even if it was limited to just
standard primitives and CSG-type operations.  While SDL is a very rich
language that allows things like looping and that sort of thing, a lot of
times I'll generate SDL using Inkscape or something like that, and being
able to import those files into a scene I'm working on in Moray would be
fantastic.

4.  If #3 isn't possible, how about import of SVG files and allowing them
to be manipulated (extrusion + create face)?  This would allow for very
easy conversion of bitmaps into translational sweeps, which is something I
use Inkscape to do - but because there's no "import .pov" option, getting
those objects placed in an existing scene is fairly time consuming (making
sure the scale is right and performing the translation/rotation operations
is something I just can't seem to get right).
