| Description | Now that we can access the renderer source, new light types are possible.
To give mappers more flexibility and allow quicker prototypes, I am proposing
a change to allow "light material defs" to pass which ARB code is run for the light interaction.
To my knowledge, the current code will try to run ARB in light materials against the supplied textures and output the result as a projection texture.
In previous testing this either caused a hard crash or "too many indirect" gl errors. This isn't the intended use case anyway. The light material system already has more than enough flexibility for manipulating the projection texture. We are instead interested in letting lights have custom surface interaction behaviors to allow for things like 3D-texture based lightmaps or other exotic input texture projections. Akin to a "ultra blendLight".
