OK, <SKIP> will be parsed into a bit-flag LDSDF_SKIP and LDrawIniComputeRealDirs
will have an extra parameter to include/exclude <SKIP> dirs:
KeepSkippedDirs, IncludeSkipDirs, DontSkipDirs, ExcludeSkipDirs, SkipSkipDirs
- please come up with a good name...

No. It is needed in LDrawSetup for a "Reset to default" button.
However, you may use it too if you wish to discard the search dirs
loaded by LDrawIniGet from the ini file and use the default search dirs in stead.

Well, I call OpenDatFile and right after I use the FileIsFrom* flags.
However, L3P also calls OpenDatFile in other contexts (e.g. l3p -check)
where the default part type is irrelevant.
But I know it's bad design, I'll pass it as parameters in stead.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

:-) As mentioned earlier I need to stick to C code, but you are welcome.
