this is the wrong way of doing things.  first write the specs, then 
implemented them.  as an extra bonus, well written specs are the documentation 
that often lacks^H^H^H^H^Hfollows implementation.

Hack.  Hugin also has a function to remove duplicate CPs.  I already see the 
unpredictable results from improperly mixing the two.

good to know.

thanks.  I went by the book [0], posted [1] to panotools-devel and if there is 
no objection I will unify the specs.  Once the specs are unified there will be 
work to do to bring the parser(s) up to date; and to actually implement the 
new parameters.  I know I will move forward at a snail pace, so if somebody is 
faster than me, be my guest and take me over.  Otherwise, I will appreciate 
the mentorship of more experienced devs as I am making my mistakes while 
trying to implement this.
