[osg-users] Which version of the Collada DOM does OSG use?

[steven_thomas at playstation.sony.com]

I fixed the Linux build of the Collada plugin and submitted the fixed 
files to the osg-submissions list. If that wasn't the right procedure 
for submitting a patch let me know.

The fix requires the latest development version of the Collada DOM, 
including some code I just submitted today. I haven't looked at the 
Windows build yet. It didn't seem to be configured correctly and likely 
needs some work.
