so we need to port m.distance.py to C. ok; swigged python -> should be
pretty easy.
(fwiw my 2c naming preference is to use g.* for Gis support things (eg
g.findfile) and m.* for geoMath things (eg m.cogo, m.proj), and so
m.{distance|measure} instead of g.*)

It occurs to me that we are a bit spoiled by our long-time use of hyper-
mature ANSI C and tcl/tk. wx and even python are still evolving very fast
by comparison.
