Have you considered the possibility that only one or two members of the POV-Team
are actually working on the Windows port at any given time?  Maybe they're just
more prolific or higher profile.  After all, the two members of the POV-Team who
post here regularly are the Windows guy and one of the Mac guys, so of course 
their focus is on the Windows and Mac ports.  That doesn't mean nothing's 
getting done on the other ports - just look at the list of things that were 
fixed in the renderer in 3.1b6.  That's in _ALL_ ports.  There's just not much 
to be done with the interface in DOS, and the last anyone knew was that the 
team didn't have a Unix guy, so now that they have one (assuming they do, of 
course) I'm sure he's working on important porting issues.

I don't have any more inside information than the rest of you do.  I'm just 
willing to cut the Team a little more slack than some of the people here.
