[Vesa Solonen <vsolonen@...>]

I've been doing the enhancements I promised for thermals. The pushing will take 
some time as I need to prepare keys for SF svn access and build up some 
courage...

There is one proposal I'd like to discuss though. The problem is current usage 
of 32 segments approximation. It makes some graphical glitches as the current 
system of 3600 angle positions do not divide evenly with 32 or 64. 16 is ok as 
errors cancel out on every second segment. 24, 36 and 40 are fine and the 
best are divisible by eight as they give vertices at 0, 45 and 90 degrees. 
Personally I have settled for 24 as a compromise.
