> that and since Povray 3.7 has not been released yet

It looks close now though, but I worry it will be an eternity before v4 
is ever released, which will be a big shame.

GPUs seem so fast and capable now, a POV type program that takes full 
advantage of that would be awesome.  Imagine being able to edit your 
SDL, have it parse instantly and look around the fully path-traced scene 
in real time, adjusting your SDL until it looks just right. 
Productivity would be orders of magnitude better than how POV works at 
the moment.  With standard hardware available today that is (just about) 
possible, in the coming years (surely before POV4 is released) even for 
large complex scenes it will become possible.
