Irrlicht Engine

Has anybody an idea how to covert Halflife models (MDL) to Quake 2 format (MD2) so that i can use them with Irrlicht?

I'm not a modeller so i must take what i can get and i got more Halflife models than models for Q2. Or has anybody a good link to a page with many good Quake 2 models???

When is the 1.0 going to be release or better: how many version will there be between the next version 0.5 and 1.0? Will 1.0 be the next release after 0.5 or will there be 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.95, 0.96... as in other engines like Revolution 3D ???
