I think the whole discussion is obsolete. In the time an cpu optimized
version of POV Ray runs stable and without a few errors more the the
original version, there is a new processor under which the original POV
will run faster than the optimised. Therefor I value all the work for
cpu-optimized POV versions for lost time. 

My personal opinion.
