Dear Cousin Ricky,

Your happiness is easy to satisfy, with a bit of early advertisement:

The first PrintStatus dumps the classical page(s) about povray (from
version to Support libraries). (it's a bit earlier than currently, but I
do not find a reason to delay it to the parsing of the scene).

The second is used to dump the parsing error collected during the
examination of the command line options (and maybe more), in case of error.

Windows vfe (and mac too), might enjoy such changes too.
