To elaborate: Suppose you have a part abcdefg.dat with loads
of subparts (Too many to name with the 8.3 restriction).
Just make a new subdirectory LDRAW/PARTS/S/abcdefg/ and put the
numbered subparts in there (like LDRAW/PARTS/S/abcdefg/99999999.dat)
This has the added benefit of tidying up the S directory a bit.
