This is great.  I recompiled all of the plugins except for
sequence/scatter sequence/wrap and texture/fixnoise
at http://www.cs.umn.edu/~mein/blender/plugins

I also made a msvc.bat file which compiles them, its pretty braindead but
works.

(Current issues with those 3 are srand, drand48 unresolved symbols and
warp.c has functions declared as static inline void and it doesn't like
the syntax, anyone have a fix for those 3 let me know.)

Thanks,

Kent
