Looks like I don't have it. Comparing the contents of the include directory in
the version I downloaded:

http://www.povray.org/redirect/www.povray.org/beta/source/povray-3.7.0.RC5.tar.gz

with the 3.6.1 source suggests these include files are removed:

arrays.inc
ash.map
benediti.map
bubinga.map
ior.inc
