Hi everyone,

I'm very keen on patching up the post-processing patch of MegaPOV with
POVRay-3.7 to obtain depth-map. MegaPOV's latest version only allows to patch it
up with POVRay-3.6. Since I have not found anyone already done that I'm
wondering how hard it is do that? I hope I'm not being ignorant and assuming
that it is possible to patch MegaPOV's post-processing patch with POVRay-3.7

Kind Regards,
Ankur

It may be a challenge to find out where to "implant" the patch, due to 
the architectural changes introduced with 3.7. I guess it might be 
easier to implement a depth-map patch from scratch. (It might even boil 
down to changing just a few lines of code.)
