Yah, I second this.  I've wanted one of these for years.  Even better
(for me) would be an ActiveX custom control.  I *think* one DLL could
support both approaches.

Just fix a DLL and it can be embedded into an ActiveX for anyone who thinks
he really needs it... (An ActiveX control is just a DLL with a standardized
(slow) interface).

Or, for that matter, it could be a separate process (LDRAW Graphics Server),
which might be easier to port to other systems. Then I can send WM_COPYDATA
messages to it :-))

Hmmm, an LDRAW Graphics Server, that could be nifty.  But how about using
XML-RPC to talk to it instead of WM_COPYDATA?  Then you could control it
from any platform, or a browser, or even a telnet session if you like
typing raw XML.
