One other problem -- ldglite needs to search both the unofficial and the

Yes, that's correct.

Should it try unofficial files first, or should that be a commandline
option?

Would it be best to have a commandline option like
-LIBPATH=libpatha;libpathb;...  where the libpathX are all paths to any
number of LDraw part libraries?

Otherwise, yes, for this purpose it needs to look in the unofficial library
first.  A commandline option to use the unofficial library would be good.

Should it have an option to save the pics in a similar directory
structure?  Right now I think it only saves in LDRAWDIR/bitmaps, and
with some odd naming scheme for individual STEPs, and possibly viewing
angles.  Although... I think there may be a command line option for an
output filename, which might apply to pic files.

Looking at the readme, there doesn't appear to be an option for the output
file, but this would be best.  -OUTPUT=filepath, or something.
