With over 1,800 files to worry about currently, unless each part can be
corrected with just a couple minutes of work or less, I don't see how it
would be possible to convert the entire database.  In that case, I think we
should just concentrate on those parts that give the biggest bang for the
buck (standard bricks, plates, etc) and we have to stick with Steve's
proposal for determining when to allow BFC'ing.

  I believe that it's possible to create a program that automatically
fixes the orientation of a part. Take a look at this picture:

  The red faces are the back faces and the green faces are the front
faces. The image on the left is the part as it is in the LDraw library,
and on the right you have the part after it's been processed by my
program (just a few errors on the sphere at top).
