I've given you access to the SVN. I guess you should place the package
in 'main'.

I'm mostly concerned with maintenance of the code. If you maintain a
local copy of the ANN library, you'll need to update every time ANN
makes a release. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

BTW, I see that you patch the ANN library would it make sense to attempt
to push this patch on to the ANN developers?

It has been accepted into upstream SWIG? That's pretty nice. I think
this project is quite interesting, and I'm looking forward to see where
it goes.
