OK, but if the quads and triangles don't form a single closed surface,
or actually a bunch of closed surfaces, then the algorithm won't work.
However, like I said, if you find something that works, post the code
or the algorithm and you'll be my hero. I don't think I'll ever add
code to parse the BFC meta-commands in ldglite. (I just don't like
them). But I will add code that BFCs parts automatically if someone
comes up with it.
