One issue here is that noone made a final review and merged the branch
into trunk.

Not possible right now, although interesting, at least for certain
cases. The Debevec probes contain lighting for a point; they may look
nice on a single object, but probably less so on a large scale game level.
On the other hand, something like skyboxes as a light probe might be
nice - you paint a sunset, and everything gets lit like at sunset. That
would be rad.

Last time I checked it worked.

I don't think either of these have been SoC projects.

I think so. We already have a student interested in doing screen space AO.
Personally, I think some work towards deferred shading would be rather
welcome.
