Additional Information

This code is released under "Quote ware" license: If you use this tool in a production environment with a group of more than two people, or have used it in the past under such conditions, then you are obliged to tell me (martin@breidt.net) about it and allow me to list that project title and your company name as a reference on my website http://scripts.breidt.net

Use with care! Any missing plugin will be blindly replaced by the first possible candidate. This could result in some drastic changes to your scene. Always review the scene after running this script and always save to a different file name.
