[Papervision3D] Simulating light

[Ralph Hauwert]

Roland,

Honestly, it won't kill it. We have already applied the basics for the
new revision. We've got the demo's here. I've posted these here
before, sorry for reposting.

We are still sorting out lots of things and optimizing to have the API
handle this in the most easy form, but basically it's intergrated.

Ralph.
