Why not start by building a library of modified official parts, but with the explicit goal of eventually converting them into POV only parts when L3P or some other tool can support them that way? That probably just a matter of running L3P on the tweaked parts and saving the results. Sometimes it's easier to get things moving if you take smaller steps in the beginning. And, the SourceForge is a great place for such an effort. I highly recommend it. Don
