[Radiance-dev] parsing rad scenes and small typo in rad2mgf

[Greg Ward]

Hi Lars,

Radiance scene files were really meant to be read with scanf() and  
written with printf().  If you want help with the loading of  
arguments, I suggest using the routine in src/common/readfargs.c, and  
fgetword() and fputword() for the modifiers and identifiers.

I hope this helps!

P.S.  Your letter prompted me to fix not only the misspelling in  
rad2mgf, but also the reading and writing of id's with spaces in  
them, which are discouraged even though they're allowed in Ratiance.
