Not sure if this is where to post suggestions, but here we go:

It would be great if POV-Ray could generate depth maps.  These are used in
stereogram creation.

The resulting image would be greyscale, with higher values of grey
corresponding to closer objects.  As far as I can see, the implementation
would be much simpler: rather that calculating colors, reflection, etc., you
would just trace each ray until it hits an object, and then record the
distance.

  MegaPov supports this.

It _is_ about windows version. Links point to other platform pages. Have you
checked download section ?

And btw: please not get into bad habits and not quote whole message even if it
is short.

  Yes it does.
  In fact, it's the only version available in the site (besides the source
code).

It would still be nice if POV-Ray implemented this, though.
