If we're talking about using GPU to support regular render, then I guess this is
a no-go: Modifying POV to this effect *would* be too much of a trouble, that's a
definite.

It might be possible to add a dedicated "preview module" though, which could
then make use of different GPU hardware... anyone volunteer for this task?

(Just as a side note, I don't have much hope that there will actually be too
many people screaming "me!" right now; I also think that at the time being,
development effort is better invested in other areas.)
