Oops, I forgot you use ADA instead of C. I don't know if the
cross compiler supports ADA so I built the windows versions
for you and uploaded it to ldraw.org. Look for
/home/dheyse/mpd_files_win32.zip
The new executables seem to have longer names than the buildmpd
and splitmpd mentioned on the MPD Files web page. Also, I must
be doing something wrong, but I couldn't get the build_mpd_file
program to work unless I used the -model flag, and it's listed
as optional in the help message.
