[jitter] blender obj files and matrixoutput

Never mind. Figured it out.

For those seeking answer to similar blender+obj+jitter issues, here's a
work-around:

Symptom(s): blender-exported wavefront obj files are not compatible with
jit.gl.model's matrixoutput but do display fine when matrixoutput is
disabled

Cause: apparently blender's export plugin for the wavefront format is not
entirely format-compliant (so far both wings3d and jitter have complained
about it). 3ds export plugin seems to have some problems as well.

Resolution:

1) export blender object in nendo (.ndo) format
2) import it in wings3d
3) export from wings3d in wavefront (.obj) format

What is puzzling however, is since both wings3d and blender are open source,
why hasn't blender project adopted apparently correct implementation of
wavefront .obj format found in wings3d?

Best wishes,

Ico
