If I would study sources of every tool I use to be sure they do not destroy my
stable environment I could have no time for using them :-)

I do not know what are you refering here because I do not remember that 3.1
was called "beta" all years before 3.5. But there is important difference
between POV-Ray and display related driver. I do not need POV-Ray to read its
scripts on this news server :-) And I do not need external codec to compress
script for sig ;-)
