If you have reached that point, I'd suggest as your next step the
enhancement of the conversion.sh script to support systematically
converting large numbers of primitives, as discussed here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cad.brlcad.devel/2006

For this case, the conversion in question would be unevaluated
boundary representation trimmed nurbs (CSG+BREP) - basically,
combinations would just point to brep versions of csg primitives, and
the csg primitives would be converted with the brep command.  Once you
have that ready, the next step is to test the models bundled with
BRL-CAD (m35.g, ktank.g, etc.) - that will feed thousands of
variations of the primitives through the conversion routines.

If you're not comfortable adding that functionality to conversion.sh
directly, as a first step you can copy that script and make your own
customized version of it that does the specific things you need.  If
you are comfortable with the conversions of existing primitives based
on your tests to date, that makes this an excellent time to develop
the ability for massive testing.  The reporting of the script will
also let you systematically monitor your progress on other primitives
(i.e. percentage of unsupported primitives reported) once you start
working on new primitives.
