Cycles / Blackbody to RGB node:

* Added a node to convert a temperature in Kelvin to an RGB color. This can be used e.g. for lights, to easily find the right color temperature. 
= Some common temperatures =
Candle light: 1500 Kelvin
Sunset/Sunrise: 1850 Kelvin
Studio lamps: 3200 Kelvin
Horizon daylight: 5000 Kelvin

Documentation: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/More#Blackbody

Thanks to Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk), who essentially contributed to this with a patch! :)
