[Radiance-general] applied material to all faces of a genbox

[steve michel]

It occured to me that since cyl.cal already exist, could mkillum the sky/ground light distribution be applied to the cylinder of a panaromic view? That would eliminate having to match the viewpoint angle with the picture. As you no doubt see, I want to avoid 'forking' renders and get the accuracy and presentation in one render.
