New issue 190 by echesl...@gmail.com: Incorrect default unit, centimeters
instead of meters
http://code.google.com/p/opencollada/issues/detail?id=190

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load a file without a unit tag specified.
2. Examine the FileInfo to find the units.
3. Examine the geometry to compute the bounds.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the output to use the default units of meters as defined by the
COLLADA spec. I expect the bounds of the mesh to be, in m, the value of the
bounds of the vertices.

Instead, I see that the units are in cm. Because of this, when my code
converts to m, the object is incorrectly scaled down. The resulting bounds
are 1/100 the correct size.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest svn, r871. This appears to have been incorrectly, and without
explanation, introduced in r366.

Please provide any additional information below.
Reverting most of (but not all) of r366 will likely fix the problem.

If possible, please provide a sample file that can be used to reproduce the
problem.
