HDRI stands for High Dynamic Range Imaging.  Its basically an image format
that doesn't have a limit to the brightness levels of the colors.  Mael
wrote a patched a version of POV 3.5 that reads such a format for use in
scenes.  Download his patch here:

Run some of the sample scenes to see what it can do and for the syntax.
There were several posts on this board a few months ago that demo what HDRI
can do.  Here's an aircraft I rendered using an HDRI map:
