Projects^updated

files^updated

Hi, i merged some (imho useful and nice) patches to awesome Blender (i call it the verBlender now), and created some builds for Linux (maybe someday i could privide a windows built too, if YOU can do so, please contact me ).
I did those patchwork 'just for fun' i would say, but i think it also will offer some nice features to be reviewed by other users. So i offer my builds here. Also some of these Patches were a bit old and needed some changes to merge into current cvs.
