For the photons, you need to add "area_light" in the light's photons block. Not 
a new feature.

light_source{10 color rgb 1 area_light 2*x,2*z 17,17
	photons{area_light}
	}

You know you've been raytracing too long when you read about an algorithm or 
datastructure and your first thought is: "How can I use this to speed up 
raytracing?"
