I don't see any either but this is completely beyond the influence of 
the POV-Team.

Just for comparison: the Win32 platform is just about 10 years old. 
Building current POV-Ray for the predecessor (DOS) is no more supported. 
  It makes sense to assume that in 2015 (~10 years after the 
introduction of Win64 assumed as the successor of Win32 for this 
purpose) building the POV-Ray of that time (whatever version that might 
be) for Windows 98 might be tricky.

Indeed.
