Is it at all possible to get some more advanced texture options in the
next version of MegaPov?  I'm specifically interested in a shine_map and
diffuse_map.  These would work just like the bump_map (inside the finish
statement).  White would be high shine or diffuse and black would be
low.  This system is used in many higher-end rendering systems, and I'm
wondering if Pov could handle it.  Can it???
TIA.

Why not just have a finish_map? You could use image_pattern and get the 
same effect, as well as control of reflection, ambient, etc.
