GLSL Cubic Lens Distortion

Few years ago I ported HLSL Cubic Lens Distortion shader made by a really nice guy François Tarlier. I slightly modified it, but the algorithm basically is the same one used in SynthEyes.
I encourage to visit François homepage and blog for Blender, AfterFX, compositing, VFX and mathcmoving related stuff. He is a former Environment and VFX artist at Ubisoft hehe.

Here are few screenshots of the shader in action:
undistorted:

distorted w chromatic abberration and slight blurring at edges:
