New issue 314 by laem...@exemail.com.au: Checkbox to have collada importer
respect source mesh origin
http://code.google.com/p/openwonderland/issues/detail?id=314

I have noticed that imported collada models seem to have an origin at the
center of their bounding box, even if this is not the case for the source
mesh. It becomes apparent when importing non-symmetrical meshes that are
designed to align with other such. Looking in the raw collada file shows
the origin as expected (ie, as I had it in Blender) indicating the origin
is being changed within the OWL collada import module???

Would it be possible to get a checkbox in the import dialog (off by default
for compatibility with existing behaviour) to honor the source mesh's
origin when importing?
