The change required to Servers/ServerManager/Resources/readers.xml is absolutely trivial. Although it was already posted on the mailing list, I've added it in the tar.bz2 file as well.

Since the vtkOBJReader class already exists, I would categorize the omission of the corresponding readers.xml entry as a bug rather than a feature request.

In the meantime, since it has been reported as a "feature request", I've also added in the missing support for handling line elements in the obj format.

Note to vtkOBJReader-2.tar.bz2:

ENH: improve robustness of vtkOBJReader and error messages

- handle commands that do not start on column 1
- handle backslash-newline continuations
- handle OBJ 'p' (point) command
- more stringent checking of vertex count: min 3 for faces, 2 for lines
