Creates a shining glow as demonstrated in the tutorial here:
http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/rays-of-light-behind-text.html
This script will only operate on the alpha-layer
It assumes that the layer size is the same size as the image size
It will not add color to the rays as in the tutorial
The rays are now created much like an outer glow, rather than being merged with a background as in the tutorial
Tested in v2.4.2 only
