+ - Implemented workaround to correct association between name, geometry and materials of
+   imported meshes.
+   
+   Without this patch, version 0.995 of this importer would associate to each mesh object the
+   geometry and the materials of the previously parsed mesh object. By so, the name of the
+   first mesh object would be thrown away, and the name of the last mesh object would be
+   automatically merged with a '.001' at the end. No object would desappear, however object's
+   names and materials would be completely jumbled.
