That's me.

Now, to correctly update models in updates where a new part overwrites
and old part (which is being move at the same time), things get a little
more interesting:
Step 1. Install old part with new number, and a "~moved to" stub file.
Step 2. Run model updater utility.
Step 3. Extract new part over old part's "~moved to" stub file.

This only works for models in ldraw\models, but not for any in
sub-directories.  I'm not sure how one would go about automating the update
of models in arbitrary directories.

Cheers,
