Map2Prop supports MAP format now, what's next?

1. A way to place/reuse the model multiple places in the map. Maybe a point entity that targets the main func_ entity, inheriting the func_'s convert_to.
   • Technically you can do this with MESS that runs after map2prop, but why use 2 tools when 1 tool do job.
   • Using brush entities that inherit others is actually mighty useful actually, to get the right sizing and positioning in the map. Maybe something like zhlt_usemodel approach is more ideal. Maybe do both.
2. More bones 🦴, a way to assign different parts of meshes to different bones, and a way to set bone hierarchy (easy enough using target keyvalue)
3. A way to create separate meshes (i.e. separate bodygroup parts) that is later combined into a single model. Probably separate entities that has a shared keyvalue (like MESS). Probably needs a way to set the main entity from the group too (also like MESS).
