So use the possibilities of the unix file system to your advantage - the
first time you find a file the hard way, create a _link_ to it, with your
normalized file name!

Then that link should be from a directory under the user's
home directory.  On my systems it is "root" who owns the
LDraw parts library files, and the other users can only read
them.

To keep directory size down, you might consider keeping the links in a
separate directory (haven't used unix for ~12 years, but seem to remember
directory searches getting slow when too large...)

That depends on the file system, but it is generally a
problem with tens of thousands of files in the same directory.

Play well,

Jacob
