I implemented the tilted shading obstruction, I can provide a modified  
version of esp-r, however be aware it is not an official version and  
you have to use it at your own risk. I've already sent the modified  
files to John Hand. I don't know if they are working on the code I  
sent them. The best think, I believe, is to wait for the official code  
John Hand is speaking about or use the mentioned workaround.
