most of the distribution scene files have one or more "recommended" render
settings in their header which should be used.  so I've hacked up a set of
scripts (for GNU/Linux) to do the rendering with two POV-Ray versions and create
side-by-side-compare images, to explore, and perhaps build on.

attached archive has the scripts and a small 'readme' which outlines the steps.
note I forgot to mention where to edit/change the POV-Ray executable names,
which may/will need adapting; 'mkcmpimgs.tcl' line 11.

Jim Henderson:
could the above be useful in the context/system you're thinking of?


regards, jr.
