Oh, you were talking about the intensity of the flare being linked to 
the amount of cloud covering the sun...this would be possible without 
post_process, sort of. Use two spheres for the sky: a shadowless blue 
one(background won't work properly with the fog) and a partly 
transparent cloud sphere. Put the light source outside the blue sphere, 
and use media within the inner sphere to get the glare effects. You 
might be able to use the same media to get the fog effect.

To get an actual lens flare would be more difficult though...I think you 
are right about the best solution being a post_process flare.
