Hi Robert,
my apologies for previous submission. I haven't tested the code thorough 
enough.  Hopefully this one's ok :).

Why I came across seeking alias extension is because I have been building osg 
nodekit which uses osg serialization framework. Now to make a distinction from 
osg2 format I tried to alias extension and that's where I ran into trouble. 
Actually I was misleaded by method addFileExtensionAlias.

My previous submission tried to use same _extAliasMap for aliasing but it 
resulted in two level aliases. (for instance xyz->osgt->osg ). Mixing user 
aliases and system plugin aliases lead to bug in my previous submission.

Attached submission extends  OSG functionallity to support User-Defined alias 
extensions.

Registry::addFileExtensionAlias remains untouched. 

Registry::addUserAliasExtension can be used to alias any extension to any 
existing supported plugin extension. This is actually equivalent to
 supportsExtension() call inside each ReaderWriter class. Each ReaderWriter 
checks also for user alias through acceptsExtension method.

Calling 'Registry::addUserFileExtensionAlias("xyz","osgt")' will tell framework 
to open *.xyz the same way os *.osgt. ReaderWriterOsg2 checks for alias through 
getUserFileExtensionAlias to get correct supported 
extension(osgb,osgt,osgx,osg2). 

All plugins should work normally with user-defined aliases( although I have not 
tested all of them ). 

Usage:
osgDB::Registry::instance()->addUserFileExtensionAlias("myimage","jpg"); 
//myimage will be handled with plugin that handles jpg extension (plugin name 
jpeg )
osgDB::Registry::instance()->addUserFileExtensionAlias("mygt","osgt"); // when 
loading mygt  ReaderWriterOsg2 will check for alias and set option to Ascii 
based on aliased extensions osgt
        osgDB::Registry::instance()->addUserFileExtensionAlias("mygb","osgb");

Cheers,
Miha
