Thinking about, you can have light_sources and still use radiosity can't 
you? In that case I don't see any benefit to using a sphere for the sun 
over using a light_source (even an area_light if you want realistic soft 
shadows).

The only reason I left the sphere object in there is because in mcpov 
you can't use light_sources, you are forced to model a sun as a very 
bright sphere.
