So you say we should patch gui/robot_model each time we have another 
binary format to look for such replacements?

I think this is not the way to go, the model (urdf) should be either 
optimized (link to osgb, bobj, or wharever) or not.

You have a point with the optimization though, which this plugin does on 
load time (each time).

The format is already around, so no choice on that point. I just created 
the osg plugin.

But adding the conversion to the build process is a good point, I think 
I shoud add a writer to the plugin, in order to be able to create bobj 
using osgconvert, or we could also just use osgb for mars ;-)
