Seeing as Jeremy has written more code for the upcoming 1.6 release
than I have, he's a pretty good authority on the subject.  I'll try hard
to get his ldraw-options-dialog-box in the next release.

As for the bitmaps, a two-pass auto-sizing feature would be useful,
and we may get that for "free" with the changes to support for
MPD files. I've been wanting to generate bitmaps larger than
the screen for some time, so a -V option with x,y specifications
makes sense.  Also, I'm thinking of a modified bitmap-save that
does not crop to the smallest size, but keeps the full size, so
you can easily do animated GIFs.

I can safely say that this would be relatively easy to do.  I won't speak
for Gyug, but I wouldn't be surprised if this feature wasn't in the next
version of LDLite.

I've been thinking about this, and it seems like it would be more work than
would be practical.  However, LDLite *might* use the -V command-line option
with two numbers, to indicate the size of the bitmap; then use scrollbars to
allow for really large bitmaps for any size window, and possibly even center
the bitmap from the start.
