That would be a challenge -- there's no master list of all DATs on the
system, so it would be a matter of searching the hard-drive, but only
updating valid LDraw DAT files. Blech. There should (and may be) a
utility that can clean up all files in a user-selected directory, but I
don't see a practical way to clean up an entire drive automagically.
Now, subdirectories of ldraw\models\ could be addressed...
