Indeed; thank you very much Francesco!  Also, a clarification to my 
description of rsensor's purpose is in order, since I see you are also 
using it for your description on the download page.  rsensor computes a 
photosensor signal based on a sensor-specific spatial sensitivity, it 
does not actually calculate the spatial sensitivity.  The sensitivity is 
read in from a data file, sort-of the inverse of a photometric 
report/.ies file, provided elsewhere.  This is all based on some 
research Zack has.  You'd be surprised by the variability in response 
from the various photosensors out there on the market; some are quite a 
ways from cosine.  So, rsensor is able to act as a *vendor-specific* 
virtual photosensor, which is like, totally rad. =8-)

Thanks again Francesco!
