Feature Request #3: automatic light altitude

[Olivier Saraja]

Yes, me again! (I know, I know, I'm experimenting quite a lot recently, and I 
believe that I'll come with many more feature requests that'll make kpm more 
user friendly IMHO, I guess - hey, don't want to bother you, pals!)

This could be another useful feature: when creating a light, an optional 
checkbox could constrain the y value to a value equal to 1.2 times the 
greatest dimension of any of the Finite primitives of the scene... It helps 
in having a pertinent lighting most of the time... The kpm user could then 
uncheck the optional box in order to modify the automatic y value. Of course, 
only the y value should be affected.

And what about coding a Sun-type light object? Basicly, it'd be a point light 
whose altitude and position around the scene, and also "warmness" of the 
color changes with the time of the day... I think such features exists in 
most terrain generators, but also in modelers/renderers such as Creative 
Studio and many others...
