One of the changes that was made was to add POV_GET_OLD_RAND to texture.h
and texture.c.  If your source is really incomplete, what you really need
is a full context diff between 3.1 and 3.1a.  Most files were not changed,
but a handful were.  

I'd give you a complete diff, but I've lost my wonderful archive of all 
previous versions, and no longer have source for 3.1 lying around.  If 
anyone does have 3.1 source and would like to help me rebuild my archive, 
please let me know.
