I think I see the difference better now. I still wonder it is correct to use
implementation dependand features. Would you like to unroll some statement
about it ? I understnad it is necessary to make some assumptions about
compiler but gcc is very portable nowadays and povray I think is supposed to
be "gcc-compatible". For example I considered recently to buy some
palm/handheld with port of gcc to play with povray sources on the village
where I have no computer and waste time at evenings. But there is a risk I
could not use it becouse some modern assumptions were done to the sources. I
decided to buy old used Pentium 75 MHz for such portable compilation machine.
But I still affraid that future development would get me off becouse of
requiements. Right now Pentium 75 is enough for DJGPP with GCC 3.1 and some
MP3 in background. That's just fears, not criticism.
