Postings in those groups usually refer to some discussion elewhere.  It's
often clear from the context what version they are made for.  

NTL since this problem will probably not become less important with Povray
3.5 (the variety of different versions with different features will
probably increase) i would second your suggestion.

BTW there is nothing against using megapov for a newbie.  The old features
work just like in the official version and you don't need to use the new
ones.  And for example using radiosity should better be learned with the
new version.
