If anyone wants to update MIRROR.INI for all 2500 parts, that'd be
fantastic.

In mirror.ini, you noted:
; NOTE: I started using the Flags to keep track of which parts I checked.
;          0 = not checked.
;          1 = substitute part
;          2 = mirror across XY plane instead of default of ZY plane
;          3 = mirror and rotate a bit.
;          4 = mirror across XZ plane.  (common for studless technic liftarms)

I'm adding another flag value:
;          5 = checked (ie, reflect across YZ plane)

Some of the flag values should be combinable.  2 and 4 are mutually exclusive,
but 2 and 3 can go together.  So maybe this would be a more rational mapping:
;          0 = not checked.
;          1 = mirror across YZ plane (standard)
;          2 = mirror across XY plane
;          3 = mirror across XZ plane (common for studless technic liftarms)
;          4 = substitute part
;          8 = rotate a bit
Then the 4 and 8 values can be added to the mirror bits.

HTH,
Steve
