Very rough version:

#declare dome_size = 10000;

#macro LoadLightMapGenFile( filename, manual_rotation,lightscale )
 #fopen file filename read

 #local number_of_samples = 0;
 #read (file, number_of_samples)

 #local phi = 0.0;
 #local theta = 0.0;
 #local solid_angle = 0.0;
 #local r = 0.0;
 #local g = 0.0;
 #local b = 0.0;

 #local i = 0;
 #while( i < number_of_samples )
  #read (file, phi, theta, solid_angle, r, g, b )

        light_source {
            <0,0,10000>
            rgb< r, g, b > * 2 * lightscale
            area_light < sqrt(solid_angle * dome_size) * rtod, 0, 0 > < 0,
sqrt(solid_angle * dome_size) * rtod, 0 >, 2, 2
            circular orient jitter
            rotate x * (-90 + (phi * rtod))
            rotate y * theta * rtod
            rotate y* manual_rotation
        }

  #local i = i + 1;
 #end

 #fclose file
#end


And the modified lightgenmap file (using a quick search and replace):
