Oh, no... have mercy! I have had enough nightmare compiling various Linux
sources for Cygwin. As to the way they try (!) to link to external
libraries -- unbelievable mess... (requiring specific minor versions;
libraries requiring other libraries etc.)

As to the support of an open development model, you're probably right. But I
believe that that is completely unrelated to the way POV-Ray handles
libraries (the right way, IMHO).
