When I move I put dates on boxes. Boxes that have not been opened are 
thrown out unopnend after two years unless they have a red sticker.

Thinking about this and backwards compatibilty, would it be easier to keep 
a few startegic versions of POV-Ray running, executing, compiling for 
current and future compilers and OS's (3.1g, 3.5, 3.7)? This could give a 
dev more freedom to break things and probably to keep the source cleaner? 
It would also kind of solve the old image problem.

Dreaming, maybe a future povray parser could just start an other engine 
depending on the #version of the scene file.

(I have no idea of the complexity of all that)

Is there anything of a time frame, weeks, months, less than a year and a 
halve? Currently my time is limited but it will change towards the end of 
the year.
