[ptx] autopano-sift-1.6-win-1.zip, No more Gtk#. Windows users please test :)

[Ippei UKAI]

I've just downloaded the file and did the first test on Mac + Mono.
Well, I don't know how to use it, so I just lunched the programs. At 
least the first look seems OK.
This means OSX users as well would be able to use autopano-sift without 
any compilation; just install mono binaries and can do it!
Thanks, and please keep your work! I'm looking forward to seeing the 
working version.


ippeipbg4:~ ippei$ mono 
/Users/ippei/Download/autopano-sift-1.6-win-1/autopano.exe
autopano-sift, Automatic panorama generation program

usage: autopano.exe [options] output.pto keys1.xml keys2.xml [..]

Options
   --ransac <on|off|1|0>   Switch RANSAC filtration on or off (default: 
on)
   --maxmatches <matches>  Use no more than the given number of matches
                           (default: 16, use zero for unlimited)
   --disable-areafilter    Do not use max-area filtration, which is 
default.
                           See manpage for details.

Alignment options
   --align                 Automatically pre-align images in PTO file.
   --bottom-is-left
   --bottom-is-right       Use in case the automatic algorithm fails.
   --generate-horizon <c>  Generate up to 'c' horizon lines.

output.pto: The output PTO panorama project file.
     The filename can be "-", then stdout is used
key<n>.xml: The keypoint input files.
     The input files can be gzip compressed, but require the ".gz" 
extension
     then.

Notice: for the aligning to work, the input images shall be
   1. All of the same dimension and scale
   2. The first images must be an ordered row. See manpage.

ippeipbg4:~ ippei$ mono 
/Users/ippei/Download/autopano-sift-1.6-win-1/generatekeys.exe
SIFT Keypoint Generation

usage: generatekeys.exe image output.key [minDim]

image: Image file (any common format: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, ..)
output.key: Output keypoint file
     The output file can be stored in gzip compressed format by appending
     ".gz" to the filename.
minDim: (optional) Downscale resolution
     The image is repeatedly halfed in size until both width and height
     are below 'minDim'.
