I'm fine simply matching QD3D 1.6's behaviour - but I am very surprised 
yourself and Joe still used this method after QD3D 1.6 was released!

I can live with that, but I'm a little unfamiliar with the procedure; 
where would the best place be to declare a new property type? Would 
this make more sense as an extension to geometries or to texture 
shaders? Should there be two flags: 
"kQ3TextureShaderPropertyModulateDiffuseColor" & 
"kQ3TextureShaderPropertyModulateTransparency" since the rest of the 
API makes distinctions between the two?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just not very familiar with the source 
or the conventions used.
