Dirtmap+volume hair

Dirtmap+volume hair

I've been rendermapping the dirtmap from the hair in localised areas--fast.
This idea courtesy our friend the stimpster.  The bounding box weirdness is
just something to be aware of in case someone encounteres it in the
future--falls into the glitch category for me because it makes senseless
shading on the geometry.
