  Because only a few people like you have both the knowledge about LDT and 
POV-Ray? :) 

  As Glenn said, it will be really nice to have it on the next MegaPOV 
incarnation, based on 3.5. I hope you will release it... as I see it, 
radiosity could perhaps do this, but you will need to model extremely well 
the geometry and reflectance of surfaces, and use very high qualitity rad 
settings. Using rad in adittion to light distribution tables, could improve 
the ligthing with low/mid rad quality.

  That's not a big problem, because it could be coded into POV-Ray script 
(converting Kelvin to RGB, or averaging spectrum samples as in my recent 
macros).
