It is also not the only solution for automatic processing.  Both solutions
i mentioned can be automatized.

So you say your program strays in random variations of the output
formatting just to tease users?  Maybe you misunderstood me, i just meant
the output uses

mesh2 {
vertex_vectors {
...

or anything else and not occasionally switches between different
variations like:

mesh2
{ vertex_vectors
{ ...

mesh2{vertex_vectors{...

(and after i thought a bit more about it - even this could be handled by
sed without serious problems).
