Well, maybe developing a *monolithic* kernel is harder than developing a
raytracer.  Of course, this thread is about POV-Ray and not about the worst
kernel design winning - which is precisely what Linux is and what is
bloating the kernel and causing all the problems.  Or, maybe that is a
general pattern of success:  Something hacked or bought together with no
commitment to a good design (DOS, Windows, Linux, the original PC, the x86
instruction sets).

Anyway, all this is off-topic...
