From the documentation for the superpatch:

 What is the Superpatch?
          The Superpatch is an unofficial build of POV-Ray.
          Like many unofficial builds, it adds new features
          to POV.  However, the Superpatch is intended to
          fulfill a loftier goal than merely to offer new
          features.  The goal of the Superpatch is to offer
          as many features as possible in a single
          unofficial build, allowing you to use the new
          features from a diverse collection of unofficial
          builds in a single package.

           ...

          The Superpatch is an UNOFFICIAL build of POV-Ray
          and is not supported by the POV-Team.

an MS-DOS binary) see http://www2.fwi.com/~parkerr/superpatch
