Various fixes
1. Fix so that the texture-manager in the animation system can handle absolute paths to the texture in the mesh. Without this it was required to place the program in C:\src\expression because the mesh pointed to that path. The code is called only when the file is not found so it does not affect any other paths that were already working.

2. Addition of an extra argument to the process so that you can specify a different path to the face-data folder. That is useful if you whish to have the folder some place else.

3. Other minor fixes and improvements
