MegaPOV will always be a step ahead of the official version. However,
the need for 3.5 is basically a need to finalize and declare official
a subset of MegaPOV's features.

4.0 is a a really, really big project. Before having the engine
rewritten from scratch it would seem logical to have that engine in
the first place. See below.

>POV3.5 probably won't be better than MegaPov anyway...

Maybe not in terms of features, but it will hopefully be a step ahead
regarding stability, compatibility, extensibility, maybe even ease of
use (macros, isos...) etc.

Please note that I am not speaking for the Team (how could I?).
