Francois, you provided all the correct info, but in such a mysterious way
that I think I will get bug reports about this if I don't clarify:

The INI parser doesn't understand POV script.  Therefore, when it sees the
"#version unofficial..." string, it thinks you're setting the version to
zero.  As Francois points out, the message screen displays, "Input file:
untitled.pov (compatible with version 0)."  Way back then in version 0, the
expression parser didn't support the "-x*90" syntax.

(Moving the semicolon to the beginning, of course, comments out the line in
the INI file.)
