I've found a way. I find it pretty neat, cause I
just LOVE when I can do all kinds of stuff with
POV alone...

What I do:
Render image with only specular highlights, rest
black.
Load that via image_map. Fiddle with patterns so
that I have the image_map only from <0,0,0> to
<1,1,0>, with an outer border in pure black.
This pigment is then translated around a circle
with quasi-even distribution (achieved using a
neat fibonacci-distribution method which requires
no heavy processing, but just a single float value
to generate position).
Voila! The image is blurred!
Now, since this blurs the main specular highlights away,
I just add another layer with the unblurred specular
highlights.
Done! I'll post a nice example shortly.
