Here's a little caveat though, which just occured to me: On my desktop, I have a
"POV-ray 3.7.0" shorcut (icon) which I always use to start it (regardless of the
*particular* pvengine64 file that I'm currently running there-- the original, or
various alphas, or beta4.) I've never changed that shorcut (meaning, as I remove
or drop in various pvengines to test things, I don't make a 'new' shorcut for
the current version; it never seems to be necessary.) But the shortcut still
starts up the correct current pvengine (as I can see when querying POV-Ray's
'Help/About POV-ray for Windows' menu.)
