        /** Implements the Light Space Perspective Shadow Mapping Algorithm.
        @remarks
        Implements the LiSPSM algorithm for an advanced shadow map generation. LiSPSM was
        developed by Michael Wimmer, Daniel Scherzer and Werner Purgathofer of the TU Wien.
        The algorithm was presented on the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2004.
        @note
        Shadow mapping was introduced by Williams in 1978. First a depth image is rendered
        from the light's view and compared in a second pass with depth values of the normal 
        camera view. In case the depth camera's depth value is greater than the depth seen
        by the light the fragment lies in the shadow.
        The concept has a major draw back named perspective aliasing. The shadow map distri-
        butes the samples uniformly meaning the position of the viewer is ignored. For the 
        viewer however the perspective projection affects near objects to be displayed 
        bigger than further away objects. The same thing happens with the shadow map texels:
        Near shadows appear very coarse and far away shadows are perfectly sampled.
        In 2002 Stamminger et al. presented an algorithm called Perspective Shadow Maps 
        (PSM). PSM battles the perspective aliasing by distributing 50% of the shadow map 
        texels for objects in the range of <near clipping plane> to <near clipping plane * 2>
        which inverts the problem: The shadows near the viewer are perfectly sampled, 
        however far away shadow may contain aliasing artefacts. A near clipping plane may be
        a problem. But this is not the only one. In the post-perspective space the light 
        sources are non-intuitively mapped: Directional lights may become point light and 
        point lights may become directional lights. Also light sinks (opposite of a light 
        source) may appear.     Another problem are shadow casters located behind the viewer. 
        In post-projective space objects behind the viewer are mapped in front of him with 
        a flipped up-vector.
        LiSPSM battles the light source problem of the post-projective space by rearranging
        the light space before transformation in such a way that no special cases appear. 
        This is done by converting point/spot lights into directional lights. The light 
        space is arranged in such a way that the light direction equals the inverse UNIT_Y.
        In this combination     the directional light will neither change its type nor its 
        direction. Furthermore all visible objects and shadow casters affecting the user's 
        visible area lie in front of the shadow camera: After building the intersection body
        that contains all these objects (body intersection building was introduced with PSM; 
        have a look at the description for the method "calculateB" for further info) a 
        frustum around the body's light space bounding box is created. A parameter (called 
        'n') automatically adjusts the shadow map sample distribution by specifying the 
        frustum's view point - near plane which affects the perspective warp. In case the 
        distance is small the perspecive warp will be strong. As a consequence near objects 
        will gain quality.
        However there are still problems. PSM as well as LiSPSM only devote to minimize
        perspective aliasing. Projection aliasing is still a problem, also 'swimming 
        artefacts' still occur. The LiSPSM quality distribution is very good but not the 
        best available: Some sources say logarithmic shadow mapping is the non plus ultra, 
        however others reject this thought. There is a research project on logarithmic shadow 
        maps. The web page url is http://gamma.cs.unc.edu/logsm/. However there is no techical 
        report available yet (Oct 23rd, 2006).

                The LiSPSM projection matrix will be built around the axis aligned bounding box 
                of the intersection body B in light space. The distance between the near plane 
                and the projection center is chosen in such a way (distance is set by the para-
                meter n) that the perspective error is the same on the near and far     plane. In 
                case P equals the identity matrix the algorithm falls back to a uniform shadow
                mapping matrix.

                The smaller the parameter n, the stronger the perspective warping effect.
                The consequence of a stronger warping is that the near shadows will gain 
                quality while the far ones will lose it. Depending on your scene and light
                types you may want to tweak this value - for example directional lights
                tend to benefit from higher values of n than other types of light, 
                especially if you expect to see more distant shadows (say if the viewpoint is
                higher above the ground plane). Remember that you can supply separate
                ShadowCameraSetup instances configured differently per light if you wish.
