There is one test file I use for quick regression tests in the wiki:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.6/Py/Scripts/Render/POV-Ray#Test_files:

direct link to file :
https://wiki.blender.org/uploads/1/14/Regression_and_test_blendfiles.zip

it's in the TexturesTest folder once unzipped.
Using Blender Pov Exporter exports a complex setup with the "finish map"  trick
for specular map , uses an alpha, normal map and diffuse. But no material_map if
i remember correctly.

I forgot to mention that I'm on windows without a building setup.

Thanks!
Did you compare the results of the development version with those of
POV-Ray 3.7.0?

If you expect the time difference, then it does not exist.
Povray-3.7.0:
first test: 53 sec
second test: 49 sec

Povray-dev:
50 sec (screenshot)
second test: 52 sec

No, I was refering to the render output: Are the resulting images the same?

If not, that would be bad news.

I posted a result for comparison.
In my opinion, there is no difference.

A material mapped from Norbert Kern's collection and run against:

---
A - POV-Ray 3.7.0.unofficial

B - POV-Ray 3.7.1-alpha.8764097.unofficial (current 3.7.1)

C - POV-Ray 3.7.1-alpha.8738139.unofficial (refactor/texture)

Is showing differences in all three when run with radiosity. See the 
attached image where A, B and C shown left to right.

If run without radiosity A & C match well, but our current 3.7.1 is 
still different.

If run without radiosity and finish statements A, B & C match well, so 
something is different in finish {} with our current 3.7.1.

Unsure what might be expected and not. Where would you like to go from 
here?

Having looked at more results I have seen nothing which dies outright as 
yet. About a third run so far have little change across the three 
versions. The rest do and I'd say mostly in the shadows. There is I see 
a new shadow cache message out of the refactored code.

Another with somewhat significant differences is attached.
