gltf inspector 0.2git add .; git commit

I have a few options for "next steps" including:
* Figure out bounding boxes using meshes
* Move it into a plugin for re-usability
* Build scene from meshes/nodes for more flexibility
* Move on to something completely different (audio inspector)

I'm inclined to go to audio inspector and then come back to the
mesh/node scene builder.
