I've had a couple offline discussions with Brede and also Corbin Holtz, and
based on those discussions, I'd like to suggest that we switch the default
OpenFlight loader to be the new loader, with the old loader still accessible
by setting the env var to "old".

The reason is increased testing. If critical functionality is missing, users
current in CVS will find out about it and make it known, then I or Brede (or
any other developer) can add the required features. In the meantime, current
CVS users can set an env var to go back to the old loader.

I'm aware of the following missing functionality:
 * Overriding ext ref palettes.
 * Parsing lat/long out of the header and returning it as UserData.
 * Support for cube mapping.

Based on my testing, I don't think it's premature to move to the new loader,
but I expect that doing so will reveal issues -- and really, that's the
point.

Comments?
