Right. There are definitely situations in ldraw parts that won't fit the
nice all-polygons-in-a-mesh model. That's why I said that auto-rewind
should be an 'option'. Meaning, the user can turn it off.
Although for a part to be BFC compliant, it *can't* have any polygons that
are both inside and outside. In this case, it wouldn't matter if the
program had auto-rewind or not - the user would have to break up the polygon
manually, then apply correct winding.
