i have never tried it, but wouldn't it be possible to fake camera motion
blur with megapovs "normal" motion blur by just cut/pasting the
transformations of the camera into all the other objects in the scene with
additional invers keyword? that way the camera would stand still with the
whole environment moving (and therefore blurring). In the case of a
skysphere one would of course have to take off the translations and
restrict it to the rotations.

Just a thought
