Subject: [PATCH] Adding Geometry clone function.

Maybe someone will find a use for this. I use it to allow editing of the geometry of a cloned mesh. Note that Mesh.clone() only performs a shallow copy of reference to contained geometry, so this can be used to perform a deeper copy of the mesh object as required.
