Indeed, I found the key is to get the ratio of brightness between the sun 
light and the sky colour correct.  You can look at photos of similar scenes 
to make an estimate.  Make sure your gamma settings are correct.  If you 
want your indoor scene to be well exposed then both the sun and sky colour 
will likely need to be above <1,1,1>.
