Collada texture filenames - strip absolute paths

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Some .DAE (collada) files seem to contain absolute paths to textures, for
example "file:///c:/some/directory/image.jpg". Here's a patch that strips
anything up to the last (back- or forward-)slash character in texture file
names.

unfortunately, this approach would break apps trying to load collada textures 
from a
local directory as well... maybe we could sense an absolute filename and strip 
it
back to the name of the texture, and leave all others?

Okay, maybe change the regexp to something like:

/^(file:.*[\\\/])/

(untested since I'm not at my development machine right now)

This should only strip things if it starts with "file:".
