That can be done, but you will probably suffer a performance hit,
because, most hardware, just use a bit, to keep track of the state.
Just minimize the use of the
0 CCW and 0 CW meta-commands, to boost performance.
When optimizing existent or new files, try do define all the polygons,
using the same winding (that's not hard to do), and if you think that
takes a lot of time, after creating the .DAT file, jut run one of those
utilities, that correct the file for you, preferably makeing then all
the default (CCW).
