-pov max trace level (ray depth)
-pov radiosity importance sampling
-Higher Radiosity samples count (allows Halton sampling)
-pov pretrace_start / pretrace_end
FIXED
-incomplete tooltip for pov low_error
-sky_sphere mapping options:
-world sky gradient to follow pov coordinate system
-Skysphere rotation made independant from camera
-generation of skysphere with image map and BlendSky will just consider the texture for now.

All issues reported here 
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=469&aid=23145&group_id=153
by Constantin Rahn, except Layer selective export, adding it to maydo list

fixed two typo errors and a compatibility for gamma syntax

READ THIS TO AVOID A LOT OF WORK!

New way of linking to tracker pages: just use the parameter "aid" (artifact ID),
to avoid a lot of manual updates later in wiki and svn.

Example:
=========

OLD WAY TO LINK TO TRACKER
-----------------------------

Complete url of a script in Upload
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=25349&group_id=153&atid=467

If we move this in contrib this url will become
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=25349&group_id=153&atid=468
467 becomes 468, so we have to update this in wiki page.

Later on, when this moves into Trunk, the url will become
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=25349&group_id=153&atid=469
468 becomes 469, so we have to update the url in wiki page and svn.

Annoying!

NEW WAY TO LINK TO TRACKER
-----------------------------

Best way to link to tracker page is using:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=25349

Use "func=detail"
Use "aid"            (which is the "artifact ID")

DON'T use "group_id" (which is the project ID, bf-extensions is project 153)
DON'T use "atid"     (which is the "artifacts tracker ID")

Like this, the url is unique, and we will avoid to update wiki pages and svn after moving pages
 


[[Split portion of a mixed commit.]]

Updated pov 3.7 Version directive to keep up to date with the latest beta and added some clean up function for hyphen and dots in object names to get them accepted by pov.

- be explicit with exceptions. new exceptions can be accounted for as needed
- self._process was being checked for None, this should never happen, if it does then that is a bug and should be dealt with separately.

-Added Distance based Depth of Field (not object based yet)

-Noticed a bug when parts of an object are flat shaded and other parts smooth shaded, not solved this yet.

Removed some lines for caustics that turned fake caustics off when photons were on, thereby changing the scene data, which is to be avoided. It seems P.O.V.ray takes care of the override all by itself so the lines were useless anyway.  

I had forgotten to change some names I hope it does work  now; This is an adaptation of Povray exporter to render with povray 3.7 
if you want more info, there are pdfs in the zip files here on the tracker: https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=22717&group_id=153&atid=468

- comforming after my commit in bf-blender:
  - removed the categories from addons names
  - made 'version' a tuple of integers
  - added 'api' field
  - formatted wiki and trackers pages and added where needed (empty pages are yet to be written by the authors though)

- more conforming:
  - 1 tab = 4 spaces

- please check everything is fine in case I made some gross mistake

in wrong folder, removed.

removing as part of clean up.
