[Ves] Size limit in the number of vertices

[Pat Marion]

It does depend on the device, older devices will not support >65k vertices,
but most modern devices will support it.  KiwiViewer does a check at
runtime to decide whether or not there is support.  Of course, it's
possible there is a bug and the runtime check is failing, even though your
device supports the gl extension.  What device are you using?  Also, could
you try the version of KiwiViewer that is in the Google Play store to see
if that works any better?
