6.11.11.2.12  Normal and Radiosity
Radiosity estimation can be affected by normals. To enable this feature, 
add normal on to the radiosity{} block. The default is off
</manual>

In with way normals do affect radiosity? Where can I find more detailed 
explanation of how some options/algorithms work (how they work in phisics 
model, and how they are computed by Pov) - apart from source code?
