Thanks for that. I'll add that line to this tutorial now.

I couldn't find a shader that has been released that can do this - I think it's called a transparent shadow shader. It's fully transparent but accepts the shadows and blends them.
After I have things together a bit more I'll look into how to release shaders for VaM and see if we can get one functioning.
The other approach is to actually project the HDRI into a Dome (with a floor) so I'll have a look at that as well.
For now, just add a cube, squash it and set it's transparency to .1 or something. It'll have a shadow (not a strong one) but it's something. You can see it in my examples actually.
