I have some code that uses Q3Group_GetFirstPositionOfType and 
Q3Group_GetNextPositionOfType with kQ3ShapeTypeLight, and that will 
break if you redefine kQ3ShapeTypeLight.

Here's a possibility:  In e3fformat_3dmf_bin_readobject, add a 
special case, that checks whether the object type is 'lght' and 
changes it to something else like 'lghd'.
