I just checked in a change to the area_illumination feature to properly 
respect distance-based light attenuation. See attached images for the 
difference.

Difficult to tell ATM; as far as I can tell, Chris and Thorsten are 
currently busy fighting some problems with the Wiki. And Chris seems 
reulctant to issue a new RC because the installer still sucks.

Thanks for the info but tell Chris most of us (well me ;-) ) don't care 
too much about the installer sucking.
