I think I had said this before, but now I can't find my post, so I'll assume
I didn't :)

The README file in povray-src-3.7.0.beta.29.tar.bz2 is still from 3.6. This
is misleading.

When I opened it, I quickly skipped a few sections. Then I read stuff
like "The source distribution of POV-Ray 3.6 is bundled with all the
3rd-party libraries which provide support for various image format such as
JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. The ZLIB library is also provided since the PNG
library depends on it."

And I thought, what the hell? I'm sure the image libraries weren't bundled
in 3.7 anymore. Looked around a bit, couldn't find the libs. Then noticed
the paragraph said "distribution of POV-Ray *3.6*" :)
