Mostly directed at JP:

Back in June, I went through and changed a few 'weird' things we were doing, 
including using C abs instead of C++ std::abs:

You just changed it back:

What compiler could possibly have an issue with that? std::abs is, for very 
good reason, the preferred way to find absolute value in C++. As such, if there 
is some obscure reason we need to use abs(), would it kill you to leave some 
explanation behind so nobody else also gets confused by that? A real 
explanation in the commit message would be extremely helpful, as possibly would 
a comment in the vicinity of the intentionally nonstandard code.
