formats, with the proper color and width. This may need a bit of
cleanup for stuff like the hidden line removal, which currently
loses the style.
Also fix a bug in the test for arcs of a circle. A second-order
Bezier with collinear control points really is an arc, but it's an
arc with infinite radius so stuff tends to blow up. So return false
for that one.

a method that works on the piecewise linear segments, and then
refines any intersections that it finds by Newton's method. So now
I support cubics too, and circle-circle intersections, and the code
is much simpler.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2012]
boundary points, at least. That required some changes to what gets
passed around (for example because to project a point onto this
inexact curve, we need to know which two surfaces it trims so that
we can do a Newton's method on them).
And fix stupidity in the way that I calculated edge normals; I just
did normal in uv space, and there's no particular reason why that
would be normal in xyz. So edges in long skinny surfaces failed,
for example.

parallel axis (which are always lines parallel to that axis).
Remove short pwl segments when possible, to avoid short edges that
get misclassified.

our specified section plane; we then split them according to the
start and endpoints of each STrimBy, using de Castejau's algorithm.
These sections get projected (possibly in perspective, which I do
correctly) into 2d and exported.
Except, for now they just get pwl'd in the export files. That's the
fallback, since it works for any file format. But that's the place
to add special cases for circles etc., or to export them exactly.
DXF supports the latter, but very painfully since I would need to
write a later-versioned file, which requires thousands of lines of
baggage. I'll probably stick with arcs.

and curve.cpp and surface.cpp contain the rest.
Also get rid of the meshError stuff; will just use the nakedEdges
mechanism for that. And I won't run the interference test
continuously, have added a menu item for that.
