great idea.

How I wish people would just pick a known Open Source License -- it's 
not like there are a shortage of them! Might it be worth a note to 
Shewchuk asking him if we can put it in MPL? -- though it doesn't look 
promising. Fortunately, his Robust Predicate code is, I think, in the 
public domain, or a more flexible license anyway.

We've got some robust code in-house that does it all in integers, though 
that does limit your options. It's based on Knuth's work in:

Axioms and Hulls
by Donald E. Knuth (Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag, 1992), ix+109pp.
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science, no. 606.)
ISBN 3-540-55611-7

http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/aah.html

Anyone know of any other code based on that work?

Nice to see this moving forward, though -- thanks, everyone!
