There are parts in l3go and mabie even in lgeo that are not in ldraw yet. I
think that before a merge of lgeo and l3go is done then the l3go parts not in
ldraw should be done in ldraw.That way there would be nothing in the combined
library that was not in ldraw. We could even re-work some of the other
libraries (such as anton reaves excelent library with parts sich as the divers
bubble dome and train front sloping base)
