If it is just a sequential number, wouldn't it be easier to just leave it out
altogether, and say the directories will be searched in the order they appear in
the file?

The desire was to preserve standard Windows INI file formatting, and each data
line in an INI file has the form <key> = <value> (spaces optional).  The numbers
were suggested as keys, with positive responses from the people that responded.

As a pratical manner, it's actually easier for a Windows program to load the
settings this way, since it can repeatedly ask for the next numeric key in the
[LDrawSearch] section until it gets a failed read.
