What about the parts libraries used by the Ray tracing folks? Or is a
totally new format in order? Either way I think the right thing to do is
start with some utilities that convert the LDRAW formatted parts to whatever
form we want to use. That way the parts authors can continue with the
tools they already know how to use. Also we never lose compatiblitly with
LEDIT (which I still like best, although I could be convinced to switch).

Is that source? Imagine my embarrasment... :) Where'd that come from?
OK, I've got myself a copy of WinCvs, so is there an easy way to grab the
whole thing? Or better yet, what's the best way to access a CVS server
from linux? I've been doing time in Windows for too long.
