Yes and it works the same way on ldglite.  There's also a tutorial
on how to do this with the tools on ldraw.org if you want cut out
the Windows box.

I'll have to test these in ldglite and see how they compare to ldlite.
Does ldlite render them correctly?  Some of those color names sound
newer than the most recent version of ldlite.

Yes.  It uses the exact same code to parse .ldr file when you use
the ldlite parser in ldglite.  Remember ldglite started out as a
portable version of ldlite.  I just added some stuff because I wanted
a portable version ledit, l3lab and a few goodies of my own, but the
ldlite source code is all still there.

I recently added 0 COLOR support in l3 parser in ldglite.  I'm not sure
if that was before or after the latest release, but apparently I should
add support for 0 COLOUR as well.  Oops.
