[jitter] blender obj files and matrixoutput

Hi all,

It appears that blender-generated wavefront files wreak havoc with
jit.gl.model when matrixoutput is set to 1. The object outputs nothing
whatsoever and hence there is no visual output nor an ability to use
blender-generated models for morphing purposes, yet if matrixoutput is set
to 0, the object shows-up just fine in the jit.window.

A quick inspection of the obj files and comparing them with mushrooms.obj
file suggests that in the case of blender-generated file, there is a small
header which says "blender v244" etc. If jit.gl.model matrix output is
trying to parse out vertices (I presume those are points with v in front of
them), perhaps this first v in v244 is messing everything up and making
output unreadable.

Any ideas as to how this can be circumvented/fixed? Is there a better export
path from blender?

This is using latest blender (2.44) with Jitter 1.63.

Many thanks!
