I wish the sky colors in the Sky section of the world features
dialog were pinnned to the position of the 'sun' instead of to
the cardinal directions of the compass.

So instead of Top, North, East, South, West, Bottom -
it was Sun, Sun+1/4 day, Sun + 1/2 day, Sun+3/4 day,
Sun+Norhtern Hemisphere and Sun+Southern Hemisphere.

The current gradient colors for the sky work great, but
it's hard to make something look realistic with them that
matches the position of the sun in your world unless you put
the sun right at the eastern or western horizon, and when you
do that there is not enough directional light to play with in the
world.

Assuming there is a generic skybox being generated on the fly,
tilting it so that the 'west' face of it is perpendicular to the directional
light vector would do the trick. One checkbox would make this
optional.
