[Bf-funboard] Blend viewer.

[Campbell Barton]

In a recent build you can do...

blender b --factory-startup --python-expr "import bpy;
bpy.context.window.screen = bpy.data.screens['3D View Full'];
bpy.context.user_preferences.filepaths.use_load_ui = False"

... you can add a blend file after to view it.
