I have read the previous (several) posts about hdri, know about MLPov, but
wanted to make an additional suggestion. Disclaimer: I haven't tried this
method, but it looks like it could work.

For an approximation of the lighting from an HDR lightprobe image, you can
use a plugin for HDR shop which will dump out coordinates for lights (in
several formats, but for pov most useful is probably text) that will give a
similar lighting effect to a true HDR image environment map.

I'd be interested in the results of this if anyone tries it. Hell, I may
even try it myself.

here's the link:
