I think there are already too many forum categories. Any list that goes off the bottom of the screen is too many. I'd much prefer to see some of the wasted vertical space squeezed out of the recent messages view (showing all categories) over creating more subforums.
As for ldconfig.ldr support, I think all the current released ldglite executables look for it in the parts search paths so copying it into the ldraw/models directory should work. The Parts Tracker executable is a custom offscreen rendering only build for BSD made long ago when I had a login account on the ldraw.org server. It predates the ldconfig.ldr code, and uses the older ldliterc.dat file and format instead.
I've recently updated the code to look in the main ldraw directory first, but I'd really like to see that location codified in an official standard before I put in the effort required to create a bunch of executable releases. However, if the account with the parts tracker code still exists, it probably wouldn't require too much effort to recompile it with the latest code.
