Yeah, studies leave me little spare time too, but that doesn't stop me.  I
should be cramming for finals right now, but frankly I don't feel like it.

But as far as the program goes, it's in pretty rough shape.  It's only been
tested with one file and has no support for uv yet.  Also, it's just a
command-line program, so it looks like you'd still have to install C++
unless you have a mac.  It has potential to be pretty flexible since it
reads the file once to see what the mesh looks like (number of normals,
vertices, faces [uv-vectors soon]), then reads it again and stores it into
arrays.  Then it writes it to a mesh2 file.  This means it would be pretty
easy to do anything along the way like a custom uv-mapping scheme.  That's
the plan right now (well for Friday - after finals - anyway).
