Hmm... I'm thinking that there must be /some/ way to render to an image 
with alpha channel and get nearly-opaque shadows being cast on an 
otherwise transparent plane.

Let me know if that would help, and I'll come up with some way to do it. (*)

Other than that, as Jerome already mentioned, the "no_shadow" and 
"no_image" keywords are probably your big fat friends.


(* Heck, I'm sure it can be done by making smart use of what POV-Ray 
already provides, but it seems such a straightforward use case that 
POV-Ray should really provide an equally straightforward way of doing it.)
