It's mapped onto a pair of triangles which are calculated to sit in direct
line of the camera's viewing frustrum, using my Glare-Macros (available on
my website in the Downloads Section). I've simpled used the following setup
to do that:

#declare Camera_Location = <1.32,1.1,-3.8>;
#declare Camera_Look_At = <-1.51,.85,0>;

camera{
  location Camera_Location
  look_at Camera_Look_At
}

#if (!Save)
  #declare Backdrop = texture{pigment{image_map{jpeg "windows_bk4.jpg"}scale
<-1,1,1>}finish{ambient .9 diffuse 0} translate <-.1,.035,0>}
  Glare_PlaceImage(Backdrop,20)
#end

The #if is to check if I'm doing the 1st Pass (collecting  samples) or the
2nd, to avoid placing samples onto the image or having the image itself
influence the calculations.

Sure thing, once this is done and rendered at an appropriate resolution, it
should be available for download on my website, but I'll post on the
development as well.
