Macintosh is going to be.
You can report core bugs to the POV-Ray-Team but send all UI related

Some amusing stuff in there...
"It is also unlikely that POV-Ray will support multiple processors before
POV-Ray version 4.0. Right now complex issues related to the multi-platform

Good to know we're doing *better* than past predictions said :)
