There's one potential stumbling block: The "main loop", as I'd call it. 
In order to implement SMP this has changed quite a lot. Re-starting the 
render phase over and over again might not be as easy as it was in 3.6.

Aside from that, I guess applying the MCPov magic to POV 3.7 should be 
as easy as eating pancakes, at least for someone familiar with the inner 
workings of both MCPov and POV 3.7 - given a bit of time.

I hope, however, that whoever picks up that glove will not copy MCPov 
behaviour 1:1, as I recently found out that MCPov gets diffuse 
illumination wrong by what appears to be a factor of 2 in brightness.
