[Bf-committers] Patch submitted: Equirectangular projection for sky texture

Hello!  I just wanted to let everyone know that I've just submitted a patch
which allows projecting equirectangular images (360 by 180 degree panorama)
as a sky texture.

This should be useful to those using Image-Based Lighting since this
projection will map to a whole sphere rather than just a hemisphere (as the
"Sphere" option does).  It also results in much less distortion than using
angular maps.

Patch is here:
