[Ogre 2.1] Clone HLMS datablocks

[Jayray]

Is there a function foreseen to clone HLMS datablocks, like the Material::clone() function?
In my case, it would be useful to retrieve the HLMS datablock from a font, duplicate it and use the copy for another movable object (MovableText) with different macro or blend parameters.

Thanks!

I will try to implement this function by myself and make a pull request
It does not seem so difficult and I think Matias is busy enough right now

Here is a first pull request: https://bitbucket.org/sinbad/ogre/pull- ... od-to/diff
As I said in the comments, it is not complete yet, but I would like to have an expert's opinion before going further

Pull request updated for the PBS datablocks.
Works well for me, but I have not tested all the cases (multiple detail maps, etc.).
