Re: [CsMain] [GSoc 2010] GSoC application for lighter2 improvements

Your proposition seems great to me. I have two notes:
- Scott Johnson is currently looking at the code of the previous GSOCs on
that topic. He may have some feedback to add.
- you are talking about multi-threading the lighting process. It seems to
me that it is better to parallelize the process on the GPU instead of the
multi-cores CPU. I'm not sure whether it is better to do it through some
shaders or CUDA/OpenCL (which are not yet supported by all graphic cards).
