CVS version question

Hi,

I finally downloaded the CVS version by downloading kdegraphics. Once again I 
proceeded with configure and make and.. "voilá" I got a binary!!! Now to the 
question 8-(.

I did not install the CVS version lest I "bugger up" my RPM instalation. 
Question: how can I compile and test this stuff without destroying the 
previous working version?

I tried to compile and run the binary (without installation) and I am aware 
that it is in fact a new version because we have the new Object Libraries and 
Plug-ins configuration option. However, wether I point to /usr or /usr/local 
I cannot create a scene. The options are not active. 
Question: do I have to do something for this to happen? Clean my old 
configuration perhaps?

I have noticed that the CVS version has no "PovRay import/export" option. Is 
this an error on my side, or will KPovmodeler not support this anymore?

Ok, last one. I promise ;-). Bear with me. I am using an architectural CAD 
application to design a house. This application (CyCas) uses polygons and 
background. Any way this can be added to KPovM? I saw a comment that this was 
considered "not important" and chances are you developeres may not wish to do 
follow this through. If this is the case, could anyone give me some hints on 
how to achieve this.


TIA,
Hugo F.
