One problem with make is that sometimes, the image file will be based on an

This is kludgy but might work. Details left as an exercise. Your problem
is that what you want is to know when a file is *new to YOU* not what

I'm going to need to keep a vanilla installation, just for partsref generation.
It's too tempting to make minor edits to part files in my regular installation.
And, if I'm going to have two copies of LDraw, I'd rather have "working" and
"partsref" than "original" and "touched".

Hmm.  How about this:

Receive new update file.
Expand new update, in a temp directory.
Touch all files in temp directory.
Copy files from temp to partsref copy of ldraw.
Make partsref.
Don't touch partsref copy of ldraw before next update.
