I just tested megapov 0.7 on a SGI PowerChallenge and it worked (including
radiosity) with gcc after some experiments with the compiler options.  

Numbers in text output were wrong and it crashed after the render but the
image was generated.  

I don't know much about 64 bit systems, but 3.1 is used quite often on
them so i don't think there are serious problems.  3.5 will of course have
to be tested in that concern, but i think it is already proved to be
running some platforms.
