What do you think about the MLCAD.INI file format? It seems to contain
the same sort of information as the minifig.ini file, but it's already
documented, and so far it's been updated fairly promptly. It'd be
really nice to standardize on one file format for minifig generator
tools to avoid duplication of effort.

Oh, that sort of META command.
I'd like to standardize on the LDAO style minifig generator META
commands. Maybe add these:
MINIFIG HEADWEAR
MINIFIG NECKWEAR
MINIFIG RIGHTTOOL
MINIFIG LEFTTOOL
MINIFIG RIGHTSHOE
MINIFIG LEFTSHOE
MINIFIG END
I wonder if it'd be useful to add something like this:
MINIFIG RIGHTSEAT
MINIFIG LEFTFOOTREST
To attach things to the backs of the legs?

Yes, I suspect I used a regedit script to work around it, but I'd
be happy to hear about a better way.
