Never mind, your web page explained it (reducing object count). The
import script has a function to do that, btw, called "flattening"
because it reminded me of the Gimp function to join layers. It will
normally only leave objects for the file you select, so if you have an
ldraw file importing your model, that would give you a single object in
the first place. Also, in editmode, hit l (Lkey) to select all vertices
connected to the closest one to the pointer - great for setting up
groups like you describe. It wouldn't be very hard to add a vertexgroup
function to the importer, if desired.
