The more I think about it, the more I lean towards ldconfig.ldr should stick to
handle just 'color definitions' and just default border colors, rather than
'color configurations'. Where 'default' is the traditional "anti-color" that
optionally can be overruled by user's preferences. Isn't it better if 'color
configurations' were kept in ldraw.ini, alternatively in the different programs'
ini files respectively?
While brainstorming, I really would like to see the option "No line type 2 or
5", too. This is the option I personally use much, much more often than "Show
color 24 as black".
