Excellent! Thanks (and to Stephen and Green as well.) Yeah, the Github way of
doing things seems a bit odd and convoluted. Well, at least to me...

SO... to help others... the Windows binary download (I happen to have chosen the
64-bit version) is only a single file called   Uberpov64  and is meant to
(temporarily) replace v3.70's  'pvengine'  file, in POV-Ray's "bin" directory--
identical to how the various 3.71 ALPHA releases were installed.

Once I install it there and see the results, I might even try to do likewise in
one of the latest 3.71 'beta' releases-- just to see what happens ;-)  If there
is a tremendous explosion on the East Coast of the U.S., you'll know the source,
ha!
