That's exactly the problem: You can't compare the results of MC-Pov with those
of POV-Ray radiosity - because radiosity goes along quite well with the classic
lighting model, whereas MC-Pov does not.

So it's no use as a reference for combined radiosity / classic lighting shots -
which actually make up the bulk of unresolved differences between 3.6 and 3.7.
