You need more particles <G>

Seriously, if you want me to take a crack at a particle plug in for Moray, I
might be able to convert it to C++.

Also, I wonder if this could be used for 'heat shimmer'. I was trying to
duplicate something a while ago with a hot exhaust that doesn't have smoke;
I was using spheres with some IOR set to them.  Do you think this would
work?
