Christ, now we're (almost) getting into the territory of how I want to implement
true "specify your spectrum" lighting/pigments...  :-D

(Granted, that _would_ pretty well obviate this whole argument because if you're
stating the spectrum, obviously you're stating it in [fake-unitized] radiant
flux at various wavelengths, but it's also enough work to try and implement that
I doubt it'd be finished before we were staring down the barrels of POV-Ray
5.0...)
