Changes from the previous version (1.0.0.)
1. Removed cluster filtering related options; Now only two options exist. 
2. Removed "Pinocchio.dll" dependency. Now with just one file (Skinner.mll)
3. Improved performance
4. Added 'max influences' option. default is 5. 
5. Improved mesh integrity test. It prevents unexpected application crash (sorry for that) from meshes with bad topology.
