  finally: my lighting macro.

Hi all:

  I finally managed to finish a beta version of my lighting macros. The 
whole thing is a bit complicated to explain, specially because I'm not a 
scientist nor a light engineer.

  The main purpose is to automate the use of artificial light sources on
POV-Ray scenes. I collected some real luminaries data, and tried to combine 
it all in a sort of "system" trough the use of several macros and 
predefined constants. 

  Do not expect anything "phisically correct", tough: it's only my usual 
"muddling along" style. Surely many of my asumptions and understandings are 
wrong, but the "system" seems to obtain decent results when compared with 
actual photographs of the same lighting and film conditions.

  Here are the include files, a test scene and a readme. I've setup also a 
web page for it, which is basically the readme file plus some example 
images:

  *ANY* comments welcome...
