okay, I just proved that I don't know what I'm talking about.  it wasn't
that hard, and the performance boost is rather interesting...

for 5000 vertices:

    Tkinter 1.6:
        10.44 seconds
    Tkinter 1.6 with new flatten:
        0.27 seconds
    Tkinter 1.6 with C version of flatten:
        2.57 milliseconds

patch follows.
