Actually, all it does is that on leftmouse-down, it enters a loop where 
it gets (then selects) the face under the mouse cursur (just as if you 
right-clicked it), executes the tool macro, then repeats the process 
once every 0.07 seconds. 

The following tools use the macro interface:

Expand/Contract Sel, CTRL-PADPLUS/MINUNS.
Collapse Vert, delete key->collapse vert.
Delete Face, delete key->delete face.
Subdivide, W key->Subdivide.
ALT-S, specially rewritten but only for HE Mesh.
ALT-CTRL-S brings up the precision (although not so precise at the 
moment) macro "movers" menu, which let's you move geometry a small 
amount in the x, y, or z object-axis directions, so you can include 
simple, small transformations in your tool macros.

And the zip file contains the latest patch along with a windows build.  
See previous emails for instructions on how to appy the patch correctly 
(there are some new files, that are in there own zip archive, since CVS 
diff -N for some reason won't work for me).

Instructions on how to write new tools, along with removing a lot of old 
code I've kept for reference purposes while I was fixing some bugs, will 
be forthcoming.  Eventually.
