I don't think POV does, exactly.  It uses a set of macros for all text
output.  If you look at the windows config.h, you'll see that it
points those macros at a series of WIN_* functions that send the
output to the message window.

In win32, you might be able to get away with pointing stdout and
stderr at an anonymous pipe, and having another thread emptying the
other end of the pipe into a window of some kind.
