[Bf-committers] Collada importer/exporter kickout

[Peter Amstutz]

This is great news!  I've reported bugs in OpenCOLLADA myself that I 
would have fixed but could not due to the lack of code generation tools.

Here's a thought, could these tools be used to generate a Blender Python 
API for OpenCOLLADA, then the data conversion for import/export (which 
is really the hard part) could be a Python add-on?
