And use the shifted versions to go CCW would be great--shift-A goes -90
around Y, shift-S goes -90 around X, shift-D goes -90 around Z.

LDAO's Modeler allows A/shift-A, but not the others.

1) Steve: a few suggestions for the minifig modeler:
- allow colors other than 0-15.

The color-list is loaded from ldraw.ini.  Open c:\windows\ldraw.ini, search
for [Colors], and start adding lines.  The number before the equal sign is
the color-code, the second color is the RGB (in Microsoft style: Blue*65536
+ Green*256 + Red), the color-name goes after the comma.  If you don't want
to bother with the RGB, skip it:

47=,Clear
383=13421772,Chrome

- update 9326*.dat to 973*.dat

Check out minifig.ini, in the LDAO program directory.  Just replace the
outdated numbers with the new ones.  I'll update the LDAO source code.

- if possible, let me add headgear (usually in the same
position/orientation as the head, so it shouldn't be too hard to
implement[2]), most often parts 2446 and 2447

Yep, this needs doing.  Along with hand-equipment, neckwear, and footwear.

Also, the MFE needs to write out plain DAT files, without the LDLite
extensions.
