[Bf-committers] Real-time GPU rendering for previews

Nearly forgot the other reason for posting ;)

They seem to be using a node based system for rendering, so it ties in a

If some of the processing of the nodes could be passed on to a GPU, 
there could be some potential for saving on rendering time.
