I have had good results with Bloodshed's Dev-C++, but note that I have never
attempted to compile POV with it. You can download a version with its own
MingW setup, or you can download the GUI alone and point it to your MingW
directory.

http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

It also operates a package system which you can use from the GUI, or
alternatively you can download packages from

http://devpaks.org/

I don't know exactly what you'd need to do to get POV-Ray to compile with
this, since it uses a project system and generates its own makefiles.
Perhaps it will be really simple, or quite complex, but as I say I've not
attempted to compile POV-Ray with Dev-C++.
