Update on 3D refactor

 

Hi folks,

 There have been a number of bug fixes and improvements to the new
3D file name resolution code and caching system. With the latest
changes I expect the filename resolution to be 100% back compatible
with the legacy behavior while providing a greatly improved scheme for
3D file model selection. Other improvements include version tagging of
the 3D search path configuration file to support older file formats if the
format should ever change in the future, and version tagging of the
3D cache data to ensure that any future changes to the cache format
does not cause any problems.

Testing, especially on non-Linux platforms, will be greatly appreciated.
