I'm sure .NET is a lot better than wxWindows for that (from a programmers
perspective).

ack. I have started to separate some of the image processing/calculation
stuff that has sneaked into the applications.

Jep, thats why it is easy to call it externally, and read in the features.
even if the rest is written in c++, or available only as binary. I'm
currently researching with Dr. Lowe's linux binary implementation, but I
won't have time to learn and implement really advanced matching algorithms,
so I leave that to you.

*g* jep. Hmm, we should think about a code structure for that, so that there
is a clean interface to the matching, whatever algorithm is used.
