Changed ambient calculation so that -ad will not limit recursion |

Rearranged the way ray contributions are computed so that it might be |

option permits the contribution of selected surfaces or sources to |

The same code modifications included a change to the indirect computation |
| 1437 |

with caching switched off (-aa 0). Whereas before, the number of secondary |

rays after the first bounce were half of the previous generation, they are |

now determined by the surface reflectance, making for a better and faster |

which used to be prohibitively expensive. |
