Both of those used an now obsolete version of megapov. Megapov is a test 
bed branch of POV-Ray.

You can now use high dynamic range images directly when using the 
version 3.7. It also provide illumination when combined with radiosity.

You can also do a search for "light dome". It's a way to generate lights 
according to a high dynamic range image. The lights placement and 
density generated is not uniform as it depends on the bright parts of 
the source image.
