You can find some sample files here:
http://www.halibut.com/~tcobbs/ldraw/private/texmapped.zip
Note that some of the files may have BFC issues. Look at 973pa9.dat for a file
that has fallback geometry. As a side note, rebel_tile.dat (and the part it
points to) have bad texture coordinates, so the texture is mirrored.

Thanks, that was quick.
By the way, I'm still not sure whether it's really worth it to attempt
this in ldglite, or if it'd be more worthwhile to try something that
might actually end up being useful, like say a minifig modeler (or maybe
an lsynth GUI) built around LDVlib.dll. Can it process new geometry
fast enough to form the nucleus of a general LDraw editor, with parts
moving around in real time?

LDVLib doesn't allow you to edit models at all. You point it at an existing
file and tell it to load. Having said that, if you wanted to do some (most?) of
the work, it could probably be made to be usable for a minifig modeler, since
high-performance isn't really an issue with a minifig.
I'd have to tweak the graphics engine side of LDView to have an "edit" mode, and
you'd have to create the C API inside LDVLib to handle editing. You're not the
first person to request editing in LDVLib, but I don't really see myself doing
all the work.
