Simple Op to Load a Mesh

This simple Op loads a MeshPrimitive from a file. You could use it right from python if you wanted, but it is most useful in host applications on an op holder. This would allow you to load a cob in Maya, for example, by connecting the result plug of the op holder to the inMesh plug of a Maya mesh shape. The same Op can be used in Houdini by simply wiring the CortexOp SOP output into the CortexToHoudini SOP input.
