[Papervision3D] shadowcaster class

[Andy Zupko]

Hey Nathaniel - its looking cool :)

What is the plane material you are drawing on?  It looks like there  
might be a problem with the transparency, etc.  Can you post your  
material info?

Also - i see you are using backface culling - it makes the shadows  
look weird sometimes as i realize now i made a pretty dumb mistake.  I  
have a fix but haven't tried it yet (just a few lines of replacement  
code).  Basically i'm culling against the plane right now - instead of  
against the light - so there are some issues.  Try turning it off and  
the model will appear more exact.

Anyways - if you can post some code for your material we can probably  
figure it out.  (does the plane itself have any blendMode?)
