[Bf-gamedev] Cycles Baking Development

[Matt Three]

Hi,
This is great, thanks for putting in the time. I've been wanting to use
Cycles to bake global illumination for awhile now. Is there any possibility
of someone making a build so we can test this without having to compile?
(I've never compiled on Windows)
