I can, later today. If you have access to a windows machine, try it. its
really nice to use. Especially dragging pictures and adjusting the 
field of view is nice. the screenshot at the ptgui homepage is from an
older version.

Jep, I will add this later on. in the meanwhile I'm restructuring the
Lens <-> variable relationship by moving the "inherit" setting into the
lens. if inherit is on, the lens will contain the variable, if it is of,
the images will contain individual values, I think this will also
simplify the GUI code a lot.

The next checkin will support only one lens, but I'll write it in a way
that adding support for multiple lenses is easy to add. I haven't made
up my mind on how to present the Lenses to the user yet.

Yes, but there might be more than one "instantiation" of a lens, with
different fov's.

Something else:
Have to read http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~rgw/thesis.html some time.
it sounds interesting, maybe there is something in it that can be used to
make a better interpolation for the lens parameters with different
fov's.

ciao
