/** @file  TriangulateProcess.cpp
 *  @brief Implementation of the post processing step to split up
 *    all faces with more than three indices into triangles.
 *
 *
 *  The triangulation algorithm will handle concave or convex polygons.
 *  Self-intersecting or non-planar polygons are not rejected, but
 *  they're probably not triangulated correctly.
 *
 * DEBUG SWITCHES - do not enable any of them in release builds:
 *
 * AI_BUILD_TRIANGULATE_COLOR_FACE_WINDING
 *   - generates vertex colors to represent the face winding order.
 *     the first vertex of a polygon becomes red, the last blue.
 * AI_BUILD_TRIANGULATE_DEBUG_POLYS
 *   - dump all polygons and their triangulation sequences to
 *     a file
