I'm writing an experimental custom game engine. I'd like supporting importing .geo and/or .bgeo files directly. Is there an official way to do so? I suppose it's involved with HDK?

A few more questions:

1. Can I statically link the relevant part of HDK so a user without Houdini installed can import it?
2. Can I support packed primitives?
