[Bf-committers] bmesh vertex path done, CDT next?

[joe]

I'm not really sure what's the greatest priority now.  I'm actually
going to set up a bug tracker somewhere then ask people to start
testing, so we can get a better handle on where the weak points are.
Working on CDT is fine though, that sounds pretty useful.
