All this is pretty interesting and all, but I doubt it's got practical
applications. If you want HDRI and photons and no light_sources just render
a first version with light_sources and use save_file in the photons block
(you can stop the render just after building the photon map, you don't need
actually render the scene). Then get rid of the lightsource/sources and
change save_file with load_file. Simple as that. I haven't followed all
this discussion so I apology if this was already suggested.
