Hi all,

	I wonder why there is no possibility to define a combination
of confidence/variance (as in focal blur for instance) when calculating
the area_light with adaptive keyword. Maybe a single parameter could
be also used, since in the current code the tolerance is set to 10 %.
	Also it seems that we cannot specify the maximum number of
shadow rays to be calculated when using the adaptive method, but only
a mimimum. Adressing these two points could maybe speed up rendering
in most of cases, don't u think ?
