Try putting a cube surrounding the mesh and doing an intersection
boolean. In earlier versions that used to clean the mesh pretty well -
haven't tried it for ages though.

We've been talking about that here. I'm pretty sure it's non-trivial.
Trivial to see the problems of crossed neighbor faces but less easy to fix.
My own feeling is that it's worth starting to give a hard time to vendors
that give you shitty models in return for your money. There's way too much
of that kind of thing going on and more often than not we just accept it.
