Yes, meanwhile I found it out on my own... obviously the object coordinates in
a looks_like object are RELATIVE to the light_source position!

And then there is the problem of light_sources (with looks_like) within a
CSG... I noticed that in this case, the light_source is pretty well visible,
but the surroundings are not illuminated at all!

Perhaps I find a solution during the next hours... watch out! ;-)

See you in Khyberspace!
