The comment you are looking for is still floating around in Bricksmith/Source/Other/MacLDraw.h. I never knew I actually had an audience in all of these prosaic comments I leave myself in the code, but sometimes they make for fun reading.
I asked about the "Mac LDraw" title in 2005. Tim Courtney personally responded with reservations about using the LDraw name, but the Steering Committee didn't respond officially (unless I've forgotten a Lugnet post). However, I took Tim's reservations seriously and thought up a name I like much better. The name "Mac LDraw" was never publicly released; it lives on only in two header files I've been too lazy to rename.
