Okay, I'm being stupid.

The official Povray installer installs under /usr/local, as it should,
since it isn't part of the system's package system. The
distribution-specific packages do not, since, drumroll, they *are* part
of the system's package system.

So, this makes me wonder if it actually *would* be sane to have the
Megapov installer check for the packaged versions of POV. The above
would imply that there's really only two places that it would have to
search for things, barring distributions with weird notions of how the
system heirarchy should work.

You know you've been raytracing too long when you're quite happy to let
people think you're on a mission to enlighten the world - in other
words; you've stopped trying to explain what "global illumination" is.
