No, but I can easily add some PreL3P options, just like I've added L3P options,
in my LDA program. In that case, the command line options are better than the
.ini way.

The Windows directory. But if there is one in the same folder as the model file,
it shall take precendence. Maybe most LDraw'ers would suggest a [PreL3P] section
inside the existing %windir%\LDraw.ini file.

Hey! While writing, I had an even better idea, I think! Why not make
META-statements inside the model file!

Yes! the more I think of, the more I like the idea. And I think it's the easiest
way, too.
