Please do not post HTML code to newsgroups!

IMO it is a nice thing to modify the source code of povray for 
your own modifications. AFAIK djgpp is a port of gcc to DOS. Since
povray compiles fine with gcc you will probably manage to compile
it with djgpp. You will more likely have trouble with the makefile
than with the compiler.
Besides from this note that povray is written in plain C, and not
in C++. But it is well written and (more or less) commented.
