[Bf-committers] Please update OpenCollada libs for Windows and Mac ...

[Bastien Montagne]

In fact, we could probably do that for all libs, maybe with a small set 
of py scripts... Question is: is this worth the time it would require to 
setup? We usually do not change lib versions that often, a simple mail 
as this one should be enough imho. ;)
