Yes, I'm pretty sure ldglite negates both the y and z coords just before
calling any OpenGL functions. If I remember right, the reason the LDRAW
coordinate system is so odd is because it started out in 2D screen pixel
coords and the 3D view was added later. I wonder if this explains the
weird LDRAW oblique transformation matrix? Was the shearing introduced
to overcome the non-square aspect ratio of the pixels on those old VGA
display modes?
