Should be possible to do things like that - theoremetically.

It's not there yet.  I've been working out some kinks, and I'm not sure what
the final implementation should be.  I supposed it can just stay part of the
light source, in which case it is ready except for some scaling problems and
how to go about deciding on the center of the light (which should really be in
the center of the patches bounding box, which brings up the question of
whether or not the patch should be inherited by using looks_like on a
patch...my head hurtz)
