oh!  there are photons?!  *scrutinizes image*

yes, there seems there are photons after all:  they seem to show up in the
ground just below the shiny reflective chopper fronts.  But problem is:  from
the point-of-view chosen, it's hardly visible.  Luckly, the photon map is
saved, and getting a close-up shot of the effect should be much easier.  It
seems the only reason for the insane photon map build time is the high number
of reflective geometries there.
