I would suggest using the Wavefront Object format (.OBJ) instead. This is the industry standard for sharing models and meshes. It is widely used, and there is no doubt a loader for it, see https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=opengl+obj

It supports pretty much everything except for character animations, and Blender has both import and export scripts for it.

Well you can check this out http://content.gpwiki.org/index.php/OpenGL:Tutorials:Tutorial_Framework:MD2Animation[^]. Might I suggest that you use a graphics engine (at least until you get better at programming) some engines I know of are Irrlicht (fairly easy to get started with) and Ogre (more difficult to get started with but a better engine IMO). There are more engines out there as well both free/open source and commercial just google for c++ graphics engine, game engine, or similar.
