Good point. I will check into this. In the meantime, don't anyone plan anything
permanent around this function.
If this is a problem, it would only apply to the parts in the original LDraw file
library, not to additional work done by LCadders. So users would need to have the
parts library installed locally, but could use an online 'parts server' to grab
updates as soon as they become available (and we could move away from big,
monolithic updates).
Fixes or changes to original parts would constitute a gray area, we'd need to work
that out.
