Virtual Light Sources... I contacted the Team with that idea quite
some time ago (back in 1996 I think) - I wasn't lurking around this
server yet, and I think the server itself wasn't up yet. No answer
then. Later, when I posted to c.g.r.r. I got a reply that Radiance had
been doing it for years by the time. So much for my invention of the
wheel *sigh*
