Due to a problem in non-English locales, POVColor 3.8.4 has been release and
can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/projects/povcolor

The usage of conversion functions in a location other than English would
cause incorrect output and incorrect parsing of input.  For example, what
should be

#declare red = rgb <1.0, 0.0, 0.0>

in a French locale would be

#declare red = rgb <1,0, 0,0, 0,0>

Locale support has been removed and so it works again in non-English
locales.  I may in the future implement locale-independent conversion
functions and then add locale support again.
