I'm not much of an expert in this area, but that never stops me from shooting my
mouth off!
On unix (e.g. Mac), it would be easy enough to use grep/find to find the files
that contain "0 ~Moved to" and simply remove them. Cygwin on Windows would also
make this possible.
Personally I appreciate it when MLCad upgrades parts within my models to the
most up to date names. Without the "0 ~Moved do" how would it do this? If you
were introduce a different mechanism, wouldn't that break the mechanism that
already exists in MLCad?
I'm not opposed to a better system, but isn't there a software base that already
depends on the current mechanism?
