It generates control points because it uses the hugin optimiser to 
do the alignment (which is also why it accepts projection and field 
of view parameters).

The alignment uses the usual roll, pitch, yaw and fov distortion.

No idea, the image is divided up into a grid and a feature detector 
tries to place an even distribution of points over the image area.

In practice, with the -p option it behaves like a control point 
generator that only works with stacked photos, but which produces 
very few 'bad' points and which works very well with large exposure 
differences.
