Rainbow dust

Lately in the development trunk the dust has/or was rainbow coloured. It got me thinking of redshift. Would it be possible or desirable to have the dust redshift. I.e. shift to blue in the fore-screen and shifting to red in the aft-screen. Port and starboard screens can have the dust blue to red/left to right.

Dust is generated with a shader. I am no shader writer, but I think this should be possible to add into the shader. Nice for a custom oxp :P

Although..... I think the shader is probably not able to determin the view direction.

View direction yes, velocity no. It could do something while warping, though (and can of course be overridden by an OXP).
