Is it possible to get Solid Angle to add a focal length metadata key if
it's not there?  Or, as Ivan pointed out to me some time ago, a filmback
width (haperture) may be better since that is fixed whereas focal may not
be.  Or, maybe a projection matrix.

I haven't actually used Arnold (yet).

The stuff Frank did in the Python developers guide was great, and I noticed
that he had a predefined focal length metadata key which was read by the
python script.
