  Ambient Light occlusion shader

• Ability to sample an environment map

I always wanted to write an advanced Ambient light shader from my experience working on Happy Feet. This is my  first attempt at writing an advanced shader for Mantra. The interface created entirely by me with the HTML help. With the code I had a great mentor help from Mario Marengo. From this shader I have learnt some of the finer points about creating light shaders. For the future I would like to split off the environment map and just have a convoltued HDR read in with the ability to increase and decrease the brightness of the map for over lighting.
