Hi Michael,

As far as I am aware, I am the only one who tried to compile POV-Ray for windows
with mingw32 or any of the likes. I can't say about the console version.

Since my time is scarce, I havn't made much progress in the past ten days.
So far, thanks to miscellaneous help from this NG and the cygwin32 mailing list, I
succeeded to compile all source files (in sources and windows only) into object
files.
I havn't touched at the libpng so far, and I havn't tried the final link yet.

If you want the differences so far just email me. Else you will have to be pretty
patient until I find the time to finish it off, as it may be many weeks.

Cheers,
Al.
