 *
 * @brief
 * Interface structures and routines for libwdb
 
 * Library for writing MGED database objects from arbitrary procedures.
 * Assumes that some of the structure of such databases are known by
 * the calling routines.
 *
 * It is expected that this library will grow as experience is gained.
 * Routines for writing every permissible solid do not yet exist.
 *
 * Note that routines which are passed point_t or vect_t or mat_t
 * parameters (which are call-by-address) must be VERY careful to
 * leave those parameters unmodified (e.g., by scaling), so that the
 * calling routine is not surprised.
 *
 * Return codes of 0 are OK, -1 signal an error.
 *
 * Note - Rather than using a stdio (FILE *), we now use a (struct rt_wdb *)
 * parameter.  Rather than calling fopen(), call wdb_fopen();

 * objects pointed at by this list must be combinations. The "struct
 * rt_wdb" pointer passed in indicates what model this hole should
 * appear in.
 *
 * The end state after this routine runs is a modified model with a
 * new RCC primitive having a name of the form "make_hole_X" (where X
 * is some integer). The combinations specified in the list will be
 * modified as follows:
 *
 *        before                          after

 *   orig_comb_tree          orig_comb_tree  make_hole_X
 *
 * The modified combination is written to the struct rt_wdb. Note that
 * to do dynamic geometry a "wdb_dbopen" would normally be called on
 * an already existing (and possibly prepped) model.  Using the
 * RT_WDB_TYPE_DB_INMEM parameter in this call will result in geometry
 * changes that only exist in memory and will not be permanently
