XP testing is once again highly welcome:

http://wiki.povray.org/clipka-files/pvengine32_XP_20170312.7z
http://wiki.povray.org/clipka-files/pvengine64_XP_20170312.7z

The former carries both 32-bit vanilla and 32-bit SSE2. The latter
carries the 64-bit version.


As before (except read "beta.4" instead of "beta.3"):

> All binaries need a pre-existing installation of 3.7.1-beta.3, and are
> intended as drop-in replacements for the beta.3's binaries.
> 
> Please test whether these binaries run on XP at all, and if so, give
> them a thorough shakedown.
> 
> In particular, please pay attention whether the binaries exhibit any of
> the following two symptoms previously observed by StephenS with some
> development builds:
> 
> - `Warning: did not find colors.inc` being reported at program start
> - `pvengine.ini` getting overwritten at each program start
