Update blender to version 2.27. A whole lot has changed since our old 2.11
package, most notably the fact that blender is now Open Source Software, and we can thus compile it instead of using binary only packages. The new homepage is http://www.blender.org. This package tested under NetBSD/i386, NetBSD/macppc and Linux/i386 -- other platforms are encouraged to test, but hardly any modifications should be necessary.
