All praise should go to Mick who put them together in the first place 
(in 2004).

There is a further trick concerning media clouds that I am willing to 
share ;-)

I (almost) always use CIE.inc, part of the Lightsys IV family of macros 
provided by Jaime Vives Piqueres. I almost always increase the intensity 
of the Sunlight by a couple of factors. A consequence of this is that 
media clouds may come out too overexposed as it were. A ready solution 
to this problem is to put a copy of the Sun, with lower intensity, 
together with the clouds media, in a separate light_group{}. See:
