Nice, but you should clean that coffee pot. ;-)

Concerning the lighting, i think when reflection is involved it is usually
a good idea to use Jaime's technique for the radiosity calculation, i.e.
take the radiosity data with dummy textures without reflection and reuse
it.  It might be necessary to do this precalculation at a higher
resolution but it usually leads to fast and smooth results.
