   I've looking into some lighting stuff and I'm curious to know what
kind of lighting parameters people usually use when creating POV renderings.

   The settings I could come up with are:

   Global:

   - Ambient Light Color

   For each light:

   - Light Position

   Directional Lights also have:

   - Target Position
   - Spot Cutoff (the angle of the spread of the cone)

   Are there other useful options I'm missing?
