[Bf-committers] cuda sdk, the source code

[pete larabell]

Indeed, I certainly don't want to do anything questionable... my sole
reason for hoping to get access to it was to get it to compile on
FreeBSD.

Right now I can't compile CUDA kernels on BSD since I can't run the SDK.

I head some things about people doing it via linux emulations, but it
really deserves a proper port.

If there is any risk at all involved with "me" porting it since I also
wish to remain a blender developer, then I'll leave it to someone else
to port it.
