/** Example 023 SMeshBufferHandling

A tutorial by geoff.

In this tutorial we'll learn how to create custom meshes and deal with them
with Irrlicht. We'll create an interesting heightmap with some lighting effects.
With keys 1,2,3 you can choose a different mesh layout, which is put into the
mesh buffers as desired. All positions, normals, etc. are updated accordingly.

Ok, let's start with the headers (I think there's nothing to say about it)
