Log Message:
-----------
Toss in a few quick notes on ideas pertaining to NURBS and NMG - moving logic
from old NURBS to new and using BoT raytracing to handle NMGs.

NURBS format, trims surfaces, evaluates boolean expressions, and
then generates tool paths on resulting surfaces and interior paths.
+* identify useful concepts implemented in the old NURBS code that are not
+ present in openNURBS, and port that code to openNURBS data structures
+ and routines. This will eventually allow us to remove the old NURBS code.
+NMG Concepts to Explore
+-----------------------
+Ensure robust and fast nmg->bot conversion, and enhance the bot data structure
+to contain a generic pointer that could be used to point back to the NMG it
was
+generated from. This could all ALL raytracing of polygonal models to use
+libtie/BoT raytracing routines, speeding up NMG raytracing and simplifying the
+raytracing code.
+
+Break NMG out into its own libnmg library. Over time, consider moving other
polygonal
+specific logic to libnmg, eventually moving all polygonal logic out of
librt/libtie/etc
+and into libnmg. Would involve code and API cleanup.
