[Fab] Fwd: Liberated Replicator (MakerBot Replicator in portable 3D formats)

[poppy]

I looked at the mac build a while back, but haven't signed onto building 
it until I get a decent demo. I've been playing with Art of Illusion, 
Wings 3D / Kerkythea, and TopMod in the meantime.

Related - renderers and material setting portability, ugh!
