[Bf-scripts-dev] Blender 2.40 RC1 Script

[Matt Ebb]

I think that's being a bit strict on the interpretation of  
dependencies - although I haven't tried it (so correct me if I'm  
wrong) as far as I can tell, it doesn't require the application  
Papagayo to actually work, it's a script to import its lipsynch files  
into Blender shape keys. I don't really see how this is different to  
having a Lightwave or Wings 3D importer.
