I don't know if this is what you meant, but I noticed (some time ago) 
that, once you use shadowless, a spotlight is equal to a pointlight.  
It seems that the "limiting cone" is in fact a shadowing effect, 
and thus dissapear with shadowless...

In some cases, you could maybe get the feature you were seeking
by using the "light groups" in MegaPOV.

Fabien.
