Greetings,

A possible issue with the installation phase of 3.7beta28 on linux/unix: 
when performing more than once the installation (make install), scenes 
subtree is installed into scenes/scenes... so it ends up with double-
files:

 $ find /usr/local/share/povray-3.7 -name i_internal.pov
/usr/local/share/povray-3.7/scenes/incdemo/i_internal.pov
/usr/local/share/povray-3.7/scenes/scenes/incdemo/i_internal.pov

Why reperforming make install ? Because of any change in the configure's 
option, for instance.

	IIRC the double-file problem is already in the source archive, so no matter
how often you invoque "make install" you'll get this recursive-like tree.  As
said in another recent thread, the source package will be corrected for the
problem in the next beta.  Yet I'll also check whether the install script
does not create some interesting weirdness  :)
