Campbell Barton 90e590936c Added a way to set the renderpath (dir and name) from the command line.
eg
Blender  -b c:\blends\test.blend  -o "c:\renders\render_#.png"  -x 0  -F PNG

-x 1/0 for extension enable/disable
-F for format/filetype

This is important because somebody elses Blend files can render anywhere on your PC, possibly a security risk.
And nice for renderfarms to be able to set the path without running a python script inside the blend file.

blender --help (render opts only)
Render options:
  -b <file>     Render <file> in background
    -S <name>   Set scene <name>
    -f <frame>  Render frame <frame> and save it
    -s <frame>  Set start to frame <frame> (use with -a)
    -e <frame>  Set end to frame (use with -a)<frame>
    -o <path>   Set the render path and file name.
      Use // at the start of the path to
        render relative to the blend file.
      Use # in the filename to be replaced with the frame number
      eg: blender -b foobar.blend -o //render_# -F PNG -x 1
    -F <format> Set the render format, Valid options are..
        TGA IRIS HAMX FTYPE JPEG MOVIE IRIZ RAWTGA
        AVIRAW AVIJPEG PNG AVICODEC QUICKTIME BMP
        HDR TIFF EXR MPEG FRAMESERVER CINEON DPX
               Use // at the start of the path to
    -x <bool>   Set option to add the file extension to the end of the file.

Added details to the -v option
Eg
blender -v

Welcome to the fun world of open source.

For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named
INSTALL.


---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory---------------------

The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender.
In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of
translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font.

Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations:
	- the current directory
	- your home directory
	- On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked 
	- On Windows, the installation dir is checked.

If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender
dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended).
