Well, I lied. I've implemented the meta commands instead of an INI file after
all. I've also added a -map option to renumber color codes. This can be done
separately or in conjunction with conversion to the hexadecimal color format.
The !COLOUR, -ldconfig, +codes/-codes, and -map options can be used as meta
commands in the model (up to the point where any type 1-5 lines are encountered)
and in ldconfig files (which are simply "models" that aren't processed). The
neat thing is that you can use "!PREL3P -ldconfig" as an include statement to
bring in a generic config file with your preferred options and/or color
definitions. I might have fixed the shortname issue, too, but I'm not sure.
I'll upload it as version 1.2 sometime tomorrow once I've organized and tested
it a little more.
