OK, thank you. Åke suggested that I make both a GCC and an iccifort version for performance, so I did that in PR 12336. But since we do not use POV-Ray for anything performance critical I'll ask for the GCC version only to be installed locally, for simplicity. (The time it takes to render a simulation is utterly insignificant compared to the time it takes to run).
