If part 1234.dat was ~Moved to 5678.dat, when LDAO updates
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1234.dat
it shouldn't just cut out the 1234 and paste in 5678. It should inline
this line (skipping any comment lines, of course). This would have the
effect of grabbing the actual short-cut reference out of 1234.dat.
The cut'n'paste approach assumes that shortcut files will always reference
the new part with a standard line:
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 5678.dat
Is this always going to be true? Probably, but it's a bad assumption to
make.
We've discussed re-aligning parts when/if they are moved to a new number,
and what about hard-coded colors?
