[Papervision3D] DAE parser fix for ColladaMAX NextGen

[Paul Tondeur]

Hi Caue,

There were indeed problems with the DAE parser in pv3d. However since  
end May, Tim Knip refactured a lot of code and made it compatible with  
ColladaMax Nextgen exported models, as well as Cinema4D exported  
models and possible even more.

More details about this can be found here: http://techblog.floorplanner.com/2009/05/26/papervision3d-21-alpha/

I've also faced the problems with animation nodes without an ID, or  
nested animation nodes as with Cinema4D.

If possible, you should update to the latest pv3d revision. It  
includes many new features!

Anyway, thanks for sharing the bugfix:-)
