A sample from my latest work on this project.  DomeLight.jpg is the actual 
image.  DomeLightEval.jpg is a secondary output from the macro that  allows 
the scene and adjustments to be pre-evaluated.  The blue and red dots 
represent where samples are taken, with red being above the threshold and 
getting a light, and blue being below with no light.  You can see in certain 
patches where the dots are much denser, this results from the adaptive 
sampling option.  I will post the new code later when I'm a bit more 
satisfied with it.
I ended up not doing subsampling for evaluating light sources as I found 
that more often it would steal lights away than adding additional lights to 
the scene.  I may end up adding a small scale subsampling only to average 
the light colour/intensity of lightsources without adding or removing light 
sources though if I like the looks of it.
