I looked at the source too - the theory of the algorithm is not documented 
but it looks similar to what I had in mind. Another thing I wanted to play 
with is weighted nearest feature - where I can assign a weight to 
stitching discrepancies in the overlap region and have the transition line 
try to avoid those locations. I'm going to replace the thinning algorithm 
in enblend to start - it's too slow to do the experimentation I want to do 
(on what happens near the edges of the images in the laplacian pyramids) 
efficiently. Then I'm going to look at memory usage problems.

Ok. Let me know what I can do to help make the enblend code portable into 
hugin.
