The elements which make up the synthesized parts previuosly got published as unofficial together with LSYNTH.
Recent development on the PT (of e.g. the Electric Cables, cf
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptreviewsum...ctricplugs
) created files which can take over this role. They will, step by step, become official,
as for example 932.dat already has.
There is a discussion going on whether these files belong into PARTS, PARTS\S or P.
Sadly, no consensus has been reached here yet. My personal opinion is that they are primitives,
and thus belong into P. But that's a different discussion.
The main point is that the cable sweep files (the same applies for hoses etc.) will over time become official.
Fortunately, a consensus was reached that they should be oriented and located like the 4-4cylis,
and this fortunately matches the orientation and location that LSYNTH expects.
This means that these files directly are usable by LSYNTH.
This already simplifies the LSYNTH problem a lot.
Just the "constraint" placeholder files LSYNTH supplies are unofficial, and I see no problem keeping it that
way, because when you need them, you need LSYNTH as well, and you need to run its generator then,
and that generator will then use official files.
