[ptx] Some Hugin enhancement requests

[Mike Runge]

Hmm,

don't know what happend here: I already replied-all, but my mail does
not appear on the list?!
I try this again:

>Overall, my main goal is a stable hugin version that can be release as 0.5.

Make sense, and don't get me wrong: That were just my personal wishes
and thoughts I wanted to share.

>Please show me where you have seen the feathering in the nona output...

What I expected to be 'feathering' seems to be something else - maybe a
bug in nona?! Please check this out:

All done with the same scriptfile, just changed between nona and
PTSTitcher:

That's my most wanted one. I'm still getting better results for
multirows while optimising bottom row first, than fix it and add next
row and so on.
Once all points are defined, I'm no longer able to tweak the
optimisation like that.

Wasn't aware of this - thanks.

Don't understand that - what do you mean?

Like I already said, just suggestions and wishes :-)
