I was posting this to the Crystal Space List and thought I would post it here in case someone might benefit from it.
I have my version of the blender cal3d exporter, with high degree of LOD and some fixes, works on 2.45 http://fadedearth.infinityanalog.com/project_tools/bookblender2cal3d_2.5.py.txt
And for crystal space I have the source for my modified cal3d plugin that has added features:
Mixmode (fading to transparent) works
Slowdown on first render- fixed
LOD fully works
Idle Animations (random) customised
clearanimations now clears all actions
