program would have a "Generate parts list" button and a "send parts list
to TLG" button and TLG using  the model would be a non-issue.

You'd have to trust the program, of course -- that it wouldn't sneakily upload
the model as well as the parts list.  If you don't have the source code to the
program or you aren't able to reverse-engineer it, lord knows what it's doing.
