I haven't been following this thread to closely, but uh, are you considering
machines that are not running Windows. LdGLite 0.4 is due to be released
real soon and should run pretty well on Linux and the Mac in addition to
Windows. It's reaching the point where it renders about as well as LdLite,
including shading.
It would be really, really nice if this CD had a Hybrid filesystem readable
from all three Operating systems. You can make such a beast with the
Mkhybrid utilities, and yes, they run under Windows.
Something else to include would be a live "run from CD" copy of LDRAW and
the parts directories.
Just my 2 cents,
Don
