I'm posting the same file run on original MegaPov, my modified MegaPov
and v3.5b6. I'll put them as a reply to my previous post on p.b-t.b.

There seems to be a major fix on the spotlight code between MegaPov and
3.5; there is a very marked difference at the top of the walls between
the two.

Well this looked like a way to do non-square lights. I'll probably
modify the scene to allow different numbers of light patches in each
direction. This would probably need 

	fade_distance sqrt((sX*sY)/(nX*nY))

I guess.
