Re: Changing iEngine::CreatePortalContainer signature

Well, it would be an edge case if we had an empty (but valid) bbox for  
such meshes located at their position - or well, at least from a  
culling point of view, as we could actually test it for visibility  
then. However as it stands now it pretty much is invalid, so I'm not  
sure what to make out of it.

If there's obligations against starting to forbid using such meshes  
the second best I can think of is making the bbox getter return an  
empty bbox located at the current position (i.e. origin in object  
space) instead of an invalid one, but I'm not sure that's such a good  
idea, either.
