I use a technique that Rich Peet suggested on this list a few years  
ago. Use your favorite imaging array for the front panorama. Put an  
omni mic 40' off to the left and another 40' off to the right (think  
on a trail). That gives you uncorrelated, non-imaging rear fill that  
supplements the front array very nicely.
