+STL / 3d model support
+======================
+
+To enable the "STL" 3d model support plugin, first make sure you have
+a recentish `Blender <http://blender.org>`_ installed and available on
+your execution path.  This feature has been tested with Blender 2.63.
+It may work on some earlier versions, but that is not guaranteed (and
+is surely not to work prior to Blender 2.5X).
