I've been working on my own patch for POV-Ray. It currently has 2 features:
Dispersion jitter which jitters the chosen "frequencies" of dispersion 
samples (similar to area lights). See post 
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/30673/?ttop=31015&toff=100 
and http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/30736/?ttop=31015&toff=50 
for examples. Another one's coming.

No_radiosity keyword similar to no_shadow or no_reflection only it affects 
radiosity samples. See post 
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/30682/?ttop=31015&toff=100

If I can find the time, I intend to complete the area_light code to 
(optionally) include diffuse, specular, and phong components (still in the 
conceptual stage). Some of my more ambitious plans which likely won't 
develop are to add true diffuse photon casting, multiple scattering (via 
photons) in scattering media, and refractive media.
