Yes, I know, but I just wanted to share this little piece of information if
anyone finds it useful. I am not going to distribute it, I will just use this
feature personally for calling POV-Ray from a Java program.

It is a bit difficult for me to understand why the windows version doesn't have
support for using it from the command line. I mean, it has this great editor
that the other versions don't have but doesn't have the command line mode which
was the original "spirit" of POV-Ray.

Don't get me wrong here, I really support that you protect this great piece of
software but I really can't understand this particular design decision.
