1st you'll have to install povwin using wine:
(If povwin36.exe is located (p.e.) in /home/greg/downloads)
open a console and type:
cd downloads
wine povwin36.exe

The installation window should open (like in Windows). Follow the steps 
you already know to install it.
Important: Accept the default location for installation; C:\Program 
Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.6.
The installation should end with a test render (exactly the same as in 
Windows).

Then if you want to run povray for windows the command to run is:

wine "C:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.6\bin\pvengine.exe"

And that's all.

Hope this helps
