[x3d-public] Converting glTF to X3D - document collecting CGE experience

[GPU Group]

I didn't get too far - just basic materials and geometry, no textures
working - and posted my experience on x3d-public. So not too late to
absorb your experiences - thanks Michalis.
I may need variations on gltf for cesium tiles which I'm interested in
for geospatial component.

But I would like to change it, to turn this into "Best practices of converting glTF to X3D", a consensus achieved by multiple X3D browsers. I know that at least FreeWRL and X3DOM also implement glTF, so it will be great if we can "converge" on common solutions. The users, as well as implementations, will benefit from this shared knowledge.
