One problem here is that the bounding box is used for things other than 
selection -- like determining whether to draw the object or not.

What's really needed here is a better way to do hit-testing -- bounding 
box checking is pretty limited.

As a first step, I suppose one could have a hit_test_box that would 
default to the bounding box, but could be set by user code...
