["Reece R. Pollack" <reece@xxxxxxx>]

I have some crude patches that changes this to be relative to the 
manufacturing ("aux") origin. That's the "private branch" all my bug 
reports refer to. It works in all situations I've tried, but I haven't 
tried more exotic configurations like polar coordinates.

My intent is to have this configurable by the user, with the default 
being the current implementation. Also planned but not implemented is to 
allow the user to choose which way the measurements increase, so that 
the Y axis can be flipped to increase as you move toward the top of the 
screen.
