The mesh2 files are not accessible as arrays, so you can't loop over the content
and check for vertices being ~equal.

Options:
- manually or using a script turn your mesh-file into a file of arrays. Then you
can loop over them and check

- write a small mesh2 parser in a scripting language. There then loop over the
triangles. I once wrote a mesh2 to obj converter in Python. It may still be
somewhere in the newsgroups. I myself lost it.

- use a mesh cleaner. May have to convert to an other format first, or if you
use an other format before converting to mesh2, use that file format to clean.

- check what PoseRay can do (for you) in this regard. I really don't know, it's
been a long time since i used it.
