Added logic which allows multiple files to be merged into a single file. e.g

STL1 + STL2 > AMF1

or

STL1 + STL2 > STL3

This will allow multiple STL files to be combined into a single AMF file. This is the first real piece in creating a multi-material tool chain. By combining multiple STL files you will be able to prepare multiple parts in an existing CAD application and then combine them into a single AMF file. Eventually each combined STL file will be designated as a specific material. The result is an AMF file with multiple objects each of a different material.

The latest version of the library also includes an Rotation and Translate transform which is intended to aid in placing your parts with the correct position and orientation within the AMF file.

Committed a version which can successfully convert STL -> AMF and AMF -> STL.

Currently only a single object in the AMF file is supported. Support for multiple objects will come next.

After that I plan on allowing multiple STL's to be combined into a single AMF. This should move us in the direction of multi-material reprap printing!
