The camera is a coordinate system defined by the up, right and
direction vectors. These do not have to be perpendicular so what you
are suggesting is not incompatible with the current implementation.
Moreover, I think it can be done without a patch using a simple
transformation. All one has to do is shear the camera along the
direction vector.

I will be very busy this weekend (I am betatesting a massive database)
and will probably lack the time to do this, but I'll try it later on
if no one has bitten the bullet by then.

Have you tried using a camera normal to achieve that same effect? It
is perfectly possible to do that right now, but I don't want to think
about the render times (not that focal blur is much faster, mind you)
