Ofcourse, :) i run 3.6.1 standalone and that compiles without any problems
under mingw, but the MPI patch was made for 3.5c source and i have no
programming experince with MPI neither with povray.
There are a lot of source changes in the code parts where the MPI is used
and i tried to get it working on the 3.6.1 with constant functionality
failures (code compiles and i got an binary that fails when starting with
MPI)...

If times is given me i will look deeper to get the MPI working for the 3.6.1
source but for now i'm pleased with the 3.5c binary.
