Quite possibly. I'll run through all calls to L3P and see what I can come up
with.

This is a good idea. Jennifer Clark first suggested this for pneumatic hoses.
My first throught is to have a special end cap part for these things that we
can set the color for, but it gets tricky. You can't use the entire flex-axle
end piece with a special end cap, because the flex axle has a specific color,
and the end cap a different color. LDraw file format only allows for one color
parameter per part usage. So we could provide a fixed list of end caps with
hard coded colors, or possibly post-process the POV file to replace the end cap
color after conversion to POV.
Obviously the first one seems easier to me.
