It's in my Download-Section:
http://www.nolights.de/download.html#Glare Macros

What I do is just a little arithmetic: take the camera's location and
look_at (along with right, up, and sky) and calculate the viewing frustrum
from that. Place a quad (two triangles) in the line of sight with the
described image_map-function, and there you go! You can have a look at the
source if you like. But linking to my Download-Section should imply that.
