[x3d-public] Turning on and off simultaneous animations individually

[Holger Seelig]

Routes are not part of the scene-graph. They exist outside of it. Every X3DExecutionContext has a list of all routes:

Currently, our animations go from key = 0 to key = 1, (weight = 0 to weight = 1) and each animation is controlled by a single TimeSensor that we enable or disable.  What we want to do is enable multiple facial animations, yet retain a single TimeSensor.  I have done something with enabling multiple time sensors all at the same time.  So, ideally, we could toggle each facial animation individually.
