I see where you're coming from now. You're right.

It's starting to sound like user intervention would be needed in most, if
not all, cases.
Maybe it would be simpler to just manually set the vertex order of the first
polygon, let the program fix that polygon's neighbors and its neighbors'
neighbors, and if any polygons are left then ask the user to set the vertex
order of one of those remaining, and repeat the process.
There are only 1600+ part files, after all...we could use a group of
volunteers to divide the task, and get every part fixed in a week's time. :)
