(I'm currently not getting all the posts from the mailing lists. The ISP
started filtering spam 2005-05-01 and is doing a poor job. Sorry if
I miss anything. For example, I didn't get Luca's first mail, only
Glen's answer.)
Glen,
the branch uses Knuth's algorithms for both line and page breaking.

So far the most helpful resource for understanding the whole story was
Digital Typography by Donald Knuth (chapter 3 only):

The chapter in question (Breaking Paragraphs Into Lines) was originally
published by Knuth
BTW, is the page breaking also using Knuth's algorithms, or is it from
the research paper* that Jeremias ordered a few months back and was
mentioning to us? I have been generically calling both the line- and
page-breaking the Knuth code--I don't know how correct that is.
Thanks,
Glen
