[Blend2cs-user] blend2cs coordinates system

[Thomas Degris]

Yes, you are right. This is definitely a very strange reference for a 
coordinates system. So, here is what it seems :
CrystalSpace: X->1 is left, Y->1 is up, Z->1 is pointing to me.
Then, I guess the conversion shoud be :
crystalspace.x = blender.x * -1;
crystalspace.y = blender.z;
crystalspace.z = blender.y * -1;

At this point, it is in blend2cs (well, at least for what I have looked 
into the code):
crystalspace.x = blender.x;
crystalspace.y = blender.z;
crystalspace.z = blender.y;

Anyway, I am quite surprise that Crystal doesn't use a direct reference 
for its coordinates system.
