[Bf-committers] Patch to allow recording of static objects in game engine

[Gavin Howard]

James,

Even if it can't be applied for 2.69, you can do something else. You can
teach the club how to BUILD Blender on their own machines.

Of course, I don't know if they would like that, but if they would, then
you can teach them how to apply the patch to the sources, build, and then
test it. It might be pretty fun for them to have a "customized Blender".

God Bless,
Gavin Howard
