I've made patch to build POV-Ray 3.8 beta 2 for Windows using MinGW.
File syspovconfig_mingw32.h was created and few changes made to syspovconfig.h,
pvedit.cpp, pvengine.cpp and ImfSystemSpecific.h files.

The most important was get rid of dependence on __try/__except which isn't
supported in MinGW.

Tested with MSYS2 MinGW (https://www.msys2.org/).
Build for Windows XP is possible with TDM-GCC
(https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc/).

Code:Blocks workspace/project files are attached.
