Ok but that's one level of complexity above what Steve was suggesting  
then. In that case, let's first install relationships a.k.a superways  
a.k.a. polys (=some way to stick things together), call that 0.5, and  
then drop segments in 0.6. I don't want to go into too much detail  
ATM but I'll be demonstrating a working version of a relationship- 
enabled API in a week or so.

Bye
Frederik
