Cool! Does this, out of curiosity, break things for you? (Or Nadav?)

I'm all for it. I've got a few other bits lying around that might be  
good there too:
  - 2D iso-contour finding (sub-pixel precision)
  - 2D image warping via thin-plate splines

I also have some code for various geometric algorithms lying around:
  - calculating optimal rigid alignments of point-sets ("Procrustes  
Analysis")
  - line intersections, closest points to lines, distance to lines, etc.

if that would be of any use to anyone.
