[osg-submissions] Fixes for VRML2 plugin

[Jean-Sebastien Guay]

Hi Robert,

only the recent versions that do, in which case their use of Boost might
be to parse the XML variants of X3D).

There's a list of open source projects that support X3D here:

http://www.web3d.org/x3d/opensource/

>From that list, it seems that if our criteria are C++, mature and
OSGPL-compliant license, we're left with OpenVRML. 

* libx3d seems interesting but pretty much dead (one release in 2005)
* FreeWRL seems good but is GPL.
* The others are either viewers, modeling plugins or non-C++.

Maybe that list is incomplete, and a broader search could reveal more?
