Too cumbersome, as I plan, in the long run, to render animations of "My
Place in the World"...

I'm an orthodox PoV-Ray fundamentalist... (as you can tell from my beard!)
THOU SHALT NOT USE ANY OTHER RAYTRACER!!!

I've tried that, but then the rooms in the building vis-a-vis drowned in
white...

Here is the closest I got towards what I aim for:

object
          {
            light_group
            {
              light_source
              {
                <0.37, GWG_FrKarl_Block238to252_Floor_yOffset + a *
GWG_FrKarl_Block238to252_Floor_Height + 1.27, 2.43>/f
                color rgb 0.25
                spotlight
                point_at <11.08,  GWG_FrKarl_Block238to252_Floor_yOffset
+ a * GWG_FrKarl_Block238to252_Floor_Height + 1.27, 2.43>/f
                radius 89.9999
                falloff 89.9999
                shadowless
              }
              object
              {
                GWG_FrKarl_Block238to252_Floor_Cutout
                scale 1/f
                translate <0.37, GWG_FrKarl_Block238to252_Floor_yOffset +
a * GWG_FrKarl_Block238to252_Floor_Height, 0.37>/f
              }
              global_lights on
            }

...still the distribution of brightness on the inside wall is very
uniform, such as the room was in fact lit by artificial light
overshining the indirect illumination, although I used global_lights
on... perhaps I should try a smaller radius for the spotlight? Or
introducing some fade_distance/fade_power?

See you in Khyberspace!
