If you want a single object not to cast any shadow, add no_shadow to 
that object.
That object will still receive shadows cast by other objects.

If you don't want any objects to cast any shadow at all, add shadowless 
to your light_source, all of them.

If you want shadows cast on the ground but not on other objects, it can 
get tricky.
You'll need to use light_group.
Have a general light_source and your ground, as well as any object that 
you want to receive shadows, outside any light_group.
Place all your objects in a light_group. The light_source IN the 
light_group are to be made shadowless.
To get consistent results, the global lights and those in the 
light_group MUST be in the same locations.
It works because objects in a light_group, while not been illuminated by 
global light_source, can still block their light, and can thus cast 
shadows on objects that outside of the light_group.

If you want no shadows and only need full illumination without any 
shading, you can use +q0 on the command line. This force all textures to 
have ambient 1, diffuse 0 and don't compute any light. As a bonus, it's 
prety quick.
