Beautiful idea!
If I may add a slight suggestion...
How about just writing some code for bricklink and selling it to them which
takes an mlcad model and scans Bricklink for the best deal for those pieces
or all pieces from one vendor etc. Kind of like peeron does for individual
pieces already (at least I don’t think this capability already exists!)

Although not addressing the “cheapest parts list” desire, the Building
Instructions Portal (http://www.bricksonthebrain.com/instructions) has
something similar. Users who add a link to their Building Instruction can also
upload the LDraw file and, thanks to BrikTrak and Richard Morton, add a link on
their BIP instruction description that goes to Bricklink to find the parts for
that specific model.
I’ve been trying to find the time to further develop this idea, but just haven’t
been able to yet.
