[Radiance-general] running rtrace in parallel?

Rob's suggestion is the best one at the moment.  It is possible to  
make rtrace run things in parallel, but it hasn't really risen on my  
priority list as it would involve some major code modifications and  
there hasn't been a lot of demand for it.

Cheers,
