Program 4 - Photon Mapper

This image sucks. Its up here so that I can get (some) credit, but I will be implementing a much better photon mapper over the break. I will also (hopefully) get a MLT implementation going.

Note that I disabled the test of the object normal against the photon's direction because it was giving me trouble. I haven't had time to investigate. This is may have caused the artifacts inherent in this algorithm (near object intersections) to be more severe.
