[pdal] Alembic export/integration with Entwine

[Laurence Penn]

Thanks for the feedback Jed. Unfortunately we don't currently have a need for Houdini. Hopefully in the future though.

You can pretty easily convert from various PDAL supported formats to Alembic using Houdini. We've started building some Houdini tools to integrate PDAL and I'm halfway considering turning it in to a full-blown GUI for PDAL.

Native support for Alembic inside of PDAL, for both point clouds and meshes, would be pretty interesting though.
