A lot of questions, some answers:

Where:

Megapov: http://nathan.kopp.com/patched.htm
Megapov plus: http://homepage.mac.com/chrishuff/povpatch.html
PovMan: http://tofbouf.free.fr/clothray/download_en.html

List of features can be found on those pages or in the packages.


Why features are not included in official Povray (3.5):

Many of the megapov features are included, although some are radically
changed.  Others were deprecated by the POV-Team.  Some also came too late
to make it into Povray 3.5.
