Fixed bug in ranimove introduced during photon map integration. + +Added check for steep sections of BSDF in pabopto2bsdf, creating narrower +peakes in those places and mitigating some normalization issues. + +Added view360stereo.cal by Mark Stock to handle 360-degree over/under +stereo views. + +Added MAX2SHADE macro to place limit on number of light sources +to precheck for obstructions. (Currently set to 200.) This +avoids excessive start-up times for scenes with many light sources. +Thanks to Axel Jacobs for pointing out the problem. + +Added -v option to obj2mesh to print out mesh statistics. + +Rewrote bsdf2rad from ground up and made it a standard part of build. + +Fixed bug in orientation of Reinhart/Tregenza sample generator in rfluxmtx. + +Added ability to perform shadow-testing through unproxied BSDFs with strong +through (direct-direct) component. + +Added {+|-}a options to genBSDF and bsdf2ttree for switching off reciprocity +averaging. + +Added bias to see through BTDFs with a strong "through" component +rather than scattering view rays. This is in lieu of peak extraction, +which looked to be too difficult from an implementation standpoint. + +Added bsdfview tool analogous to objview but for BSDF files (XML and SIR), +which calls bsdf2rad then rad with a few useful default views.
