It is the official source.

 From memory, so I'm likely wrong:
In VS2015 load povray.sln.  Enable subproject Console, disable 
subproject Gui.
Build it.
It will complain that you need to #define _CONSOLE somewhere, and tell 
you where. (Hint: in my copy it's at
windows/povconfig/syspovconfig.h:54:// _CONSOLE must be defined when 
building the console version of POVWIN.
windows/povconfig/syspovconfig.h:56:// #define _CONSOLE
)
So do that and rebuild.

et voilà!
