[Bf-committers] Booleans library as Summer of Code Project

[Frédéric van der Essen]

Maybe you will find those ressources interesting. I stumbled on that 
when looking for my next year courses.
It talks about algorithms to fill arbitrary shapes with polygons in an 
efficient way.
it's just the course dia's not a full book and it's really cryptic, but 
maybe you'll find some tips and tricks.

Who knows, it might help...
