Select existing part as command module

[pizzaoverhead]

When in editor mode, deleting the craft's root command module allows you to add a new part as the root part.

It would be useful if after deleting the root part, you could select an existing part (or group of parts containing a command module) as the new root. For example, after separating a craft in two and deleting the half containing the root command module, you would be able to select the remaining group parts displayed in red and have them become the new root. In cases where the parts have no suitable command module or the part tree can't be reordered appropriately, they would be unclickable, as they are currently.

This mod will allow you to select a new root part using LeftShift + LeftCtrl + LeftClick. It works great! Note that you have to select the new root before deleting your current one.
