[Bf-python] a direct x importer addon for 2.6x

[Campbell Barton]

Hi Jerome, good to see quick progress, for getting this ready for blender.

regarding the namespace issue, consider that someone might have d
DirectX files both having the same material name (but each material
being completely different & referencing different images).

If you want to export these into the same blend file the first import
will work fine.

>>> bpy.data.materials.new(name="MyMat")
bpy.data.materials['MyMat']

later this works ok
>>> mat = bpy.data.materials['MyMat']


On the second import however, this happens...
>>> bpy.data.materials.new(name="MyMat")
bpy.data.materials['MyMat.001']

later on when getting the material, it will get the one from the
initial import, which is a bug since they may have nothing else in
common then the name.
>>> mat = bpy.data.materials['MyMat']


So bottom line - use bpy.data.*.new but never use it to get data back
during import.
You can have a dictionary which stores an (orig_name: data) mapping
for each import, this way you dont care if there are collisions and
you dont care if the name happens to be already used.
