Steve (and authors of .MPD utilities),

Could a utility to build and unpack .mpd files be integrated into LDAO?  I
fear that unless we make it as easy to create an .mpd file as it is to inline
submodels, the .mpd format will not reach (almost) universal acceptance.

models had their submodels inlined rather than .mpd'ed.

I realize that even now, making .mpd's work only involves getting one of the
.mpd utilities and setting it up to work with LDAO, but this seems too much
for a large number of people.

(...) Yes. Or I could just add the functions to LDAO as a set of internal tools (like the inliner and outliner are). (...) That would be sad. (...)
