That makes sense to me too.
Based on the coincidental informal convention already used by LDView and
Bricksmith, I suggest $LDRAWDIR/Unofficial as the default unofficial parts
directory. It is structured like the regular LDraw directory with parts,
parts/s, p, and p/48 subdirectories.
Using the full path to unofficial parts is a great tip for L3P! I like that
solution. Beats my previous approach of merging and unmerging the official and
unofficial hierarchies with a script.
