  Hmm. It seems like this is a loader behaviour that osgconv doesn't really 
have any
influence. We should probably note it in the osgconv usage documentation, but i 
can't
picture making any code changes to change the behaviour, can you?

  Hmm. It's easy enough to make it not strip all extensions, but I implemented 
this in
order to facilitate using a pseudoloader on the input side. I could make 
another option to
make the full stripping optional, but I was trying to avoid making too many 
complex options.

  Thanks for the testing. I'm glad it worked for FLT too.
