COLLADA importer

I actually just found a copy in an SVN repo somewhere online, and I put together a waf build system for it. (I had also found a zipped version with a Scons build system, but it failed to build and I couldn’t fix it) I’m having some issues getting makepanda to recognize it, though.

I have installed it to /usr/local, so the installed files are:
/usr/local/include/FCollada.h
/usr/local/include/FColladaPlugin.h
/usr/local/lib/libFColladaSD.so

However, when I run makepanda with --use-fcollada and --verbose, I get the following output:

$ python makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --no-ffmpeg --use-fcollada --verbose
Generating library cache...

Any ideas what could be wrong, or how to get more information on what’s failing?
