oh for sure ... this was more or less a "hey i can do it" attempt. i 
don't think it's going to be a big deal. instead of marking edges as 
seams (uv unwrap was too jumbled for me) i opted to generate individual 
uv maps for groups of faces. other than basic placement of the images in 
blender, i got more mileage out of poseray uv mapping panel (scale, 
clip, transform, etc)
