You do not recall correctly, if I may be so blunt.  MegaPOV is Nathan's
pile o' patches plus the late unlamented Superpatch, which combined lots of
single independent patches into one.  There was another patch prior to 
that (and prior to 3.1 as well) which combined a half-dozen or so independent 
patches as well, but I've forgotten its name.  When I made the first 
Superpatch I picked over what was in the prior collection, but I didn't keep
everything.  Probably the single most important contribution I made with the 
Superpatch was to port pre-3.1 patches to work with 3.1.

Yeah, for some reason he seems to think the official 3.5 is more important.
Go figure.
