Better yet, grab the whole source tree at once. If you have CVS, you can
use a batch file (or script) like this.
@echo PRESS Enter when asked for a password.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ldlite.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ldlite login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ldlite.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ldlite
checkout Cvs_ldlite_smith

Cool! I like this idea. I'll have to port it to ldglite.
How about looking in the working directory first, then in the LDRAW
directory? MLCAD also looks in the working directory for config type
files, but I really think the LDRAW directory is a more natural place
for this stuff. Especially on Windows, which is typically a single user
system. On a unix system I'd say search the current directory,
the HOME directory, the directory of the executable, followed by the
the LDRAW directory.

Once upon a time I'd hoped to merge all the ldglite source back into the
ldlite source tree and unfork it into one project, with perhaps a few
target executables. This way I could relinquish my status as a maintainer
and become a mere contributor. Is this still possible? The current ldglite
sources are almost completely separated by #ifdef USE_OPENGLs from the
ldlite 1.6 sources. I say "almost" because I think I was a bit sloppy when
I started.
