You are right, it is not a bugfix, but better coding. I have installed on my
machine version 3.1, 3.5 and 3.6 of POV-Ray and all have the same "bad" coding
line. So there have to be somebody who has changed that, but I think this do not
affect any liscence.

(...) Why do you call this a bug fix? Is #ifndef not a valid POV command? Both versions do exactly the same thing, as far as I can tell, just via #ifdef for POV 3.5, and #ifndef for LDraw. --Travis (18 years ago, 30-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
