Ah ha! I thought I saw some duplicates in there. Then the only thing
left in [LDraw] is the various paths to find things. I like that.

Ok, so how about this?
[LDraw.Configurations]
# FILE Config Name LOCALE
0=ldconfig.ldr default EN
1=ldcfgalt.ldr ldlite EN
2=ldconfig_DE.ldr default DE
3=ldcfgalt_DE.ldr ldlite DE
4=ldconfig_FR.ldr default FR
...
Where ldraw.org takes responsibility for distributing the official
"Austrailian flavor" files ldconfig.ldr and ldcfgalt.ldr. The first
one has the drab black edge lines and is suitable for printing. The
second one has the bright cheerful ldraw/ldlite edge lines and is
suitable for dark backgrounds. Responsibility for other languages
can be assumed by someone who actually speaks it, and perhaps we (err,
Steve?) can come up with a way to list them with via an update script
of some sort.
I can't imagine any other "themes" or "skins" will ever become
popular enough to generate a substantial following, but this setup
could support them if it happens.
