Hello William,
I can add a little to a couple of the issues you raise.

Right, well that's not exactly what I meant. What I meant is that if
I shoot pictures in columns -- say 5 pictures per column, and then
import them into Hugin, it lays them out going left to right, not top
to bottom, so they are in the wrong place. Of course I wouldn't know
how to tell Hugin how many pictures per column, so I'd have to know
that too. Anyway, that matters only once I figure out how to do
the prealigned option.
If you have "Detect vertical lines" set in "Preferences -> Assistant' this
may help Hugin to get the arrangement correct. I haven't tested this in
many situations so I'm not sure if it will help you, but worth a try.

Aha, found a few more by switching to "Expert" mode. (I previously
hadn't noticed a difference between "Advanced" and "Expert".)
Hmmm, but I don't see the buttons that I thought were there to
tell the optimizer to skip certain values.
In "Expert" mode, chose to optimise "Custom parameters" which will reveal
the "Optimizer" tab. In this tab you can select which parameters to
optimise. Right click on a heading to get a menu.

I guess this seems like a problem to me. First, I compiled the "lensfun"
tool, does that not have a database of lenses to at least get it
in the ballpark of what the parameters are -- which can then be
fine tuned by the optimizer?
If your lens is in the Lensfun database, in the "Photos" tab, right click
on an image in the list and from the menu select "Lens -> load lens
from..." which should open a dialog box showing lenses hugin has found
that might be your lens.
But I don't see how to set an anchor image.
In the "Photos" tab, righ click on an image, and in the menu you will see
"Anchor this image position" and "Anchor this image for exposure"
I did notice that Terry has a new tutorial on stitching mosaics which
uses the new interface (with Hugin 2013). But most of the rest of
them are pre-2013.
There is a tutorial "The new user interface (2013)" and "Simple lens
calibration" has recently been updated for the new interface.
Hope some of that helps.
Cheers,
