From what I've tried, it's similar to cross-compiling. Unfortunately, POV-Ray's
make file doesn't seem friendly to cross-compiling. I have access to machines
with one or two Phis installed, and expect to try getting POV-Ray to run on the
coprocessors this summer. If successful, I'll post the results.
