Yeah, but that would be doing the job of make -- reinventing the wheel,
so to speak.  It should be easier to maintain a dependency file for each
unofficial file, and let make figure out what needs to be updated when.

In order for make to process stuff properly, I'll need to tell it
the order in which directories shold be searched for dependent
files because that information is not in the DAT file itself.

We need to build different graphic images (and distribution packages)
depending on what it is we are trying to do:

For official distributions of released parts, given a DAT file we
search

official/parts
official/p

For unofficial distributions of parts under review, given a DAT file we
search

unofficial/parts
unofficial/p

official/parts
official/p

Is there some need for building any other configurations of graphic files?

Side thought: Kyle mentioned that dat files should depend on the images
of their subfiles.  That would work, but we could also make the dat
files be dependent on the dependency files of their subfiles. :)

I think it's cleaner to make DATs dependent on their dependencies...

Another place that I think images would be useful is in the "required
files" and "related files" lists on the detailed pages.  In those lists,
images for subparts and primitives would definitely be useful.

Can it hurt to make these?

I would think the same thing applies here - if a required file needs
certification, it'll need to be downloaded anyway. It should only have an image
if it's a part in itself. Same with related files.

Any more ideas?

Cheers, Ralph
