Re: [Lib2geom-devel] convex cover

[Johan E. <jbc...@sw...>]

I don't know. I didn't write any of it, so I am not attached to it.
I can see that it would be useful to someone, also within Inkscape. But 
the current code is broken, so someone has to fix it (soon) or we move 
it to the orphan folder together with the tests.
