POV's install paths try to conform as much as possible to the FHS,
but if you found some that are off-standard, please report them :-)

Apparently, /usr/share/povray-3.6 is not conforming, so it was changed to
/usr/share/povray. ;)

Okay, I'm being stupid.
The official Povray installer installs under /usr/local, as it should,
since it isn't part of the system's package system. The
distribution-specific packages do not, since, drumroll, they *are* part
of the system's package system.
So, this makes me wonder if it actually *would* be sane to have the
Megapov installer check for the packaged versions of POV. The above
would imply that there's really only two places that it would have to
search for things, barring distributions with weird notions of how the
system heirarchy should work.

BTW, not only it's not hard to do the usual config/make stuff as you're likely
to only need to do it once: most dependency binary libs are upward compatible,
so, moving on to a newer distro you only need your latest binary. No need to
recompile. My povray binary has already survived 3 distros! :)
