LGEO is a library of LEGO parts modeled by POV-Ray primitives.
When exporting LDraw parts to POV-Ray format, tools like LDView can use an XML file,
usually named LGEO.xml, to substitute dedicated parts by their LGEO implementations. An older tool L3P uses the two files lg_elements.lst and lg_colors.lst to accomplish much the same thing, as well as for indicating whether to switch over to using Anton Raves' POV-Ray parts instead.
Starting from the original library by Lutz Uhlmann, many people edited and added parts to it. This sadly has led to a tree of variations, not a single collection. This tree is shown here:

* = Lutz's site seems to be offline. His parts are included with the LDraw All-In-One Installer (AIOI), however.
† = Owen's update is already included with the AIOI, but the archive linked to here may contain newer versions of his parts.
‡ = Lars's updated parts seem to be older than the ones included with the AIOI, so it may be that you shouldn't use them.
