I personally feel that the best answer would be to create a new type for the
0 LDRAW_ORG and 0 Unofficial specifiers.  I don't think any of the current
ones (listed here: http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/?n=7283) are appropriate
for segment parts.  The main problem with this is that it requires all
existing segmented parts to be updated.  The 751.dat file currently uses the
old 0 Official LCad statement instead of the new 0 LDRAW_ORG statement, for
example.

This sounds like a good idea to me, except for one thing:  the 0 LDRAW_ORG
lines are generated at release-time by the release script.  Every type
listed is determined by other data in the file, or about the file -- parts
are in the /parts directory, shortcuts have '_' at the start of the title,
or (Shortcut) or (Complete) at the end.  That kind of thing.

So a 'segment' type would need to be backed up by some other spec.  Perhaps
if we put (Segment) at the end of the title?

Looking at some of the files generated using the new curve generator LDDesignPad plugin by Orion (as well as files generated by the EMacs macro it is based on), I noticed a problem when displaying with LDView (which might also effect L3P output).
