Let's rephrase this: "The norm for most /Linux/ packages is..." ;-)

It should be noted that the POV-Ray software package is not a Unix or 
Linux package. It is an essentially platform-independent package, that 
happens to include both a Unix and a Windows port.

There are plans to make available a Unix-specific package in some way or 
another, which will be more easily palatable for the Linux community, 
but that hasn't happened yet for 3.7.0. At the moment we're relying on 
Unix package maintainers like you to bridge the few - hopefully minor - 
gaps you're seeing.
