  29. If you want to remove all the surfaces, just convert to a format
  30. that doesn't have them, then convert that to the final format.
  31.  
  32. Or, load the Wavefront file into a text editor, and change all
  33. the occurences of 'usemtl' to '# usemtl' and all the surfaces
  34. go away...
