Very nice. What about running mklist so the new parts appear in the
lookup?

It'd be nice to make this information available on ldraw.org.
However, I have no idea how to submit the documentation there.
Is that written up somewhere?
I also have some small issues with the new version of the website.
Since ldglite isn't available on the Mac getting started page:
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=97
it really needs it's own complete getting started guide. Now maybe It
could just point to some parts update documentation on ldraw.org as it
does for the original parts install, but the PHP in the new URLs make
me nervous. They seem so temporary and uninformative compared to the
old URLs:
http://www.ldraw.org/download/start/mac/step1.shtml
I mean, is ...file=article&sid=97 always going to get me there?
