Nice, but should it have an 8.3 name if it's going into the distribution?
The DOS tools won't use the file, but DOS users may still unzip new part
libraries to an 8.3 filesystem.

I like it, but I'll have to spend some more time comparing. Many of the
colors vary a bit from the ldlite defaults, and some of the basic edge
colors are still different from ldraw/ldlite. I'll have to play with
the yellow bricks for a while and see if I like them better with your
brown edges instead of the original dark grey.
Meanwhile, how would you handle multiple color setups in say the
LDRAW.INI file? I can imagine wanting to switch easily between the
ldconfig.ldr file for printing, and the alt version for web instructions
and on screen work.
Actually maybe a new meta tag (or 2) would allow multiple named
color settings in one ldconfig.ldr file.
0 !COLORBLOCK BEGIN default
0 !COLOR blah blah blah
0 !COLOR blah blah blah
0 !COLORBLOCK END
0 !COLORBLOCK BEGIN ldraw-ldlite
0 !COLOR blah blah blah
0 !COLOR blah blah blah
0 !COLORBLOCK END
Feel free to stomp all over this if it sounds nutty to you.
