But there are some open issues now:

1) I would like some sort of text-file describing what is available and where

I'll work on that.

2) I found out that it is a problem with extracting these things since you get
questions all the time asking if you agree on overwriting the old files when
executing e.g. complete.exe.
QUESTION: Is there a way to avoid that?

Put a -y on the command-line when extracting.

3) How about asking the Jessiman's for permission to combine LDRAW.EXE the two

My preference is to keep these files separate.  Ldraw.exe is the work of
James Jessiman, and the property of the Jessiman family.  Complete.exe is
the combined work of all the contributors.
