yes, i jsut wanted to point out, that if we have a modular thing, the
decision of which file a module can handle should be handled by itself
(as it knows best what it is able to do).
i don't think to do it the other way round: calling a special modules
just because we _think_ it can handle the file...

yes the interface to pd should stay separated (as is now); but both
[vertex_model] and [model] should use the same model-loader code.
so my ModelLoader-class should have a render()-method (for displaying)
and some methods to extract the vertex-arrays (or whatever other arrays
are stored in the model)
