I'm just wondering how difficult it'd be to add these simple keywords to the
light_source block:
-shadowless: I mean, I don't want the darn light to cast shadows. Period.
Maybe I still want it to show specular highlights why not? it's up to me
isn't it? I know that that behaviour is wanted, because users wanted fill
lights to behave this way and all but I'm pretty sure a lot of users here
would prefer to turn off specular highlights as they see fit.
-no_specular (or something like that) see above.
-no_diffuse: for those who think the combo pure radiosity lighting + fast
specular highlights (or photons) is just a dream.

Now, is there anyone who can tell me how to accomplish this? Which files
should I modify and how?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I also think no_image objects should still affect radiosity. Again a
no_radiosity flag would leave the decision to the user. Endless
possibilities...
