How can creasing be done at higher levels? it's a interpolated hardness 
factor, it doesn't just make hard lines.  In fact, only about half the 
time (or less) do I use a full crease of 100%.

Also, this doesn't just not use creases, it also destroys the crease 
values themselves, which is bad.  This causes unexpected (and unwanted) 
behavior for users.

Btw (and speaking in a long-term perspective) is there a reason why 
CCG_SubSurf isn't used in the first place?  It already has proven 
results, and isn't all *that* hard to use (the best way is to take one 
of the mesh<->ccgmesh functions in subsurf.c and use it as an example).
