Which of these types of Targa files are generated by POV?

 1  -  Uncompressed, color-mapped images.
 2  -  Uncompressed, RGB images.
 3  -  Uncompressed, black and white images.
 9  -  Runlength encoded color-mapped images.
10  -  Runlength encoded RGB images.
11  -  Compressed, black and white images.
32  -  Compressed color-mapped data, using Huffman, Delta, and
           runlength encoding.
33  -  Compressed color-mapped data, using Huffman, Delta, and
           runlength encoding.  4-pass quadtree-type process.

Are there other types?  And does POV-Ray use the TGA_2 Spec?

POV-Ray generates 2 and 10 iirc. The source will tell. It certainly doesn't 
generate any color-mapped images in any format.
