The -fast option in ydnar's q3map is pretty damn fast. If there was some
way to compile a lightmap for a region that a user was working on (even
waiting 30 seconds or so) would be much better than the current option
of compile and test in game.

It would only be a guide to what the lights would look like but still be
pretty cool.
