Well, the DOS executable in the part update from ldraw.org won't work,
but you should be able to use either the point-N-click version or
the OSX command line executable that are included in the ldglite bundle.
What's missing is some simple directions on *how* to use them. The
DOS/Windows directions on ldraw.org look like this:
4. Now you must compile the master parts list file (PARTS.LST) using
MKList. THIS STEP CANNOT BE SKIPPED. To do this, type the following:
"cd ldraw" ...press ENTER.
"mklist -d" ...press ENTER.
MKList will run for several seconds to a couple of minutes, reading
all of the files in your C:LDrawPARTS directory and writing the file
names and part names to the PARTS.LST file. When it is done running,
MKList will leave you at the prompt C:LDRAW>.
I imagine the OSX directions would be quite similar except for the
~Library/ldraw" path bit, and the part about finding the OSX version
of mklist. Maybe the point-N-click version of mklist handles all
that.

I don't know if that's necessary. I believe there are only a handful
of people who use the Mac version(s) of ldglite.

Not really. I think the offsite link from the Ldraw Viewers and Editors
page works fine. That way I can keep the documentation up to date
myself (or get somebody else to do it).
