Nice of you to notice!  The dof and bokeh effects were done as a bit of
post-processing in photoshop using dofpro
(http://www.richardrosenman.com/index.htm) - it gives much nicer results
than the blur_samples function in povray.  I used the megapov post
processing function to produce a depth map and then used this in the
plugin.  The details are on my web site:
