Autolight placement script

Oso3D

Just contemplating lighting issues, and had a thought...

How about a script that takes either selected items or items named <UserInput> and placed a determined light of <UserInput> parameters either centered in the item or some relative position from that item.

So, for example, if you have 40 candles in the scene, the script places a yellow point light above each candle of some given strength. For 3DL, you could arrange this to be within certain objects. For Iray, you might place the lights above or in front of the objects.

Bonus if it could somehow also place lights near specific surfaces in a larger object (I'm not sure that's possible, but it'd be nice)
