The Unofficial is going to make it hard to find parts by name as they'll all
be Unofficial, but that might not be a bad thing. The only potential problem
I could see was that adding "Unofficial (Un-Official) " to the beginning of
all the names has ended up with some part names being truncated quite a bit
(is there a limit on part names in LDraw?), and it's seems a bit wasteful
using up 26 characters like that.
