[Radiance-general] Radiance on Raspberry Pi

[Mark Stock]

The Raspberry Pi build of hdrgen worked. And Radiance on the Pi works
as well. Note that rpict on the Pi runs about as fast as you'd expect
from a $30 computer---it finishes my benchmark test in 1021 minutes,
while a 4-core i7 can do it in parallel in 4 minutes.
