Greatly appreciated, but the problems with the scene are actually even worse
than that.  Some objects are not labeled, almost all have the same texture
declarations, and it is using a union of smooth_triangles instead of a mesh or
mesh22.  There are also A LOT of degenerate triangles and a few other odd
things.  I don't know what exporter was used, but it must be pretty old (the
specified language version is 3.1!).

Anyway, I wound up downloading the obj file and opened that with wings.
Massively slow at first, but I am in the process of splitting it into separate
files, which will let me organize the includes better.

P.S. As can be expected, the z axis is flipped in this scene as many modelers
use the left hand system instead of the right hand.
