I think, and I might be wrong, that the default file format for 3.7 on
unix is PNG, not TGA anymore.

(and to have edited the TGA file format lately (was before RC1, IIRC, to
add comments),... well it's Truevision Targa, and the version of format
evolved from very old 1 to 2.0 specification of 1991.

And there is 2 TGA formats output for povray (the uncompressed one, and
the compressed one. (+FC vs +FT)

If you have imagemagick installed, ask "identify output.file" what it
think about the rendered image.
