/**
** LightEnvironmentClass
** This class represents an approximation of the local lighting for a given point.  The idea
** is to collect all of the point light sources affecting an object at any given time and
** create temporary directional light sources representing them.  Any distance or directional
** attenuation will be precalculated into the overall intensity of the light and a vector from
** the light source to the center of the bounding sphere of the model will be used as the 
** directional component.
** In addition, the engine will provide the ambient component which will be determined by
** a combination of the ambient setting for the level and sampling the light maps in the area.
**
** Notes:
** - will need fast collection of the lights affecting any one given object
** - intensity of these lights should take into account attenuation of the original light
** - intensity should also take into account spot attenuation (no-per vertex atten...)
** - we need the direction of the lights in eye-space
** - the ambient light from all lights should be added into the ambient light (not just scene)
