the fact that it certifies that file has beeing checked for point
order (bowties) and winding.

So the certify statement is a little bit more powerfull than just stating
that it complies to the some fact.

And following this, I am in favor of replacing CERTIFY with EXTENSIONS,
since it makes alot more sence, with this reasoning.

Besides this could be a great help for DEBUG, just remove (or comment) the
CERTIFY/EXTENSION line (or remove the particular extension, when you have
more than one) and all the extension MetaCommands are ignored, without
having to comment them all.

I forgot to add that you can have a file that is 'certified', but due
to its nature (the lego part/sub-part) no clipping is applicable, but it
can have correct point order (no bowties) and a defined winding (the
default, or some expecifically insert in the file '0 WINDING CW').

And also that EXTENSION (or CERTIFY) is strictly local, does not affect
other files in the rendering tree.
