parts.lst: what currently maintained programs use it?

MLCAD (and some other programs) use a scan order and take the first file that matches the part name. MLCAD's scan order is at the bottom of the MLCAD.ini file. Other programs (like LDView) are adopting an LDraw.ini file: http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=3854

I'd like more programs (including MLCAD) to adopt the LDraw.ini file for scanning for parts and primitives in order. I'll bring this up in the Steer Co.

My Library_Manager has the ability to download both official and unofficial part files. Currently it dumps them all in LDraw/Parts, and not any custom / unofficial directory, but maybe you can modify it to do so. I've been busy, but should be able to post the source code to it and the beginning of my parts editor program tonight.

If anyone wants to continue working on a Library_Manager, please post your intention here, so that myself and others may help.

Scott
