It's a megapov patch based on path-tracing and reportedly very accurate.  Very
slow too, but more accurate no doubt than current radiosity.

fidos developed it last year and I remember there were many interesting posts
with comparisons between path-tracing and radiosity, path-tracing giving very
accurate results, despite the noise still left and render times.  Here's the
relevant links, very interesting read anyway:
