From visiting the UberPOV Github repository here...
https://github.com/UberPOV/UberPOV
... I'm honestly not sure how to download it, or which of the separate components
are needed. I assume that this is the Windows version(?) Does it need to be
*compiled* on my end? I don't see a clearly-labeled Windows executable there.

There is a green button near the top right which will start a download.
I had a quick look at the zip file and could not see any msi or exe
files. so it looks like a compile.

it is not you; it is github. github is retarded. i suspect it was made by
linuxians.
above the red bar is cryptic scribbling 'commits', 'branches', 'releases' etc,
click on 'releases'. there you will find the binaries.

As guessed by Stephen, that would be the source package, which you
/could/ use to compile UberPOV from source codes.
To be precise, it would be the source package of the development branch,
with the latest changes, which is usually not what you want: Even if you
did intend to build from source code, you'd normally want an iteration
of the source code that has a well-defined version number associated,
which you can find at:
https://github.com/UberPOV/UberPOV/releases
There, for each such well-defined version you'll again find at least the
corresponding source code package (in both zip and tar.gz format), but
usually also pre-built Windows binaries.
I guess I should overhaul the `README.md` file (which is displayed at
the bottom of https://github.com/UberPOV/UberPOV) to include an obvious
link to the releases section; as soon as I find the time of course.

Excellent! Thanks (and to Stephen and Green as well.) Yeah, the Github way of
doing things seems a bit odd and convoluted. Well, at least to me...
SO... to help others... the Windows binary download (I happen to have chosen the
64-bit version) is only a single file called Uberpov64 and is meant to
(temporarily) replace v3.70's 'pvengine' file, in POV-Ray's "bin" directory--
identical to how the various 3.71 ALPHA releases were installed.
Once I install it there and see the results, I might even try to do likewise in
one of the latest 3.71 'beta' releases-- just to see what happens ;-) If there
is a tremendous explosion on the East Coast of the U.S., you'll know the source,
ha!
