awesome work, andrew!  geometry and lego, two of my favourite things.
i thought i was pretty smart when i figured out how to make triangles,
circles and spheres (well, sort of anyway), until i discovered lugnet.
:)  are you going to share the DAT files or your code?

The DAT files aren't very much use unless you're determined, since
they build everything out of 1x1x1 bricks, which don't hold together
too well ;-) Another consequence is that the DAT files get pretty big.

If there's reasonable interest I'll try to clean up the C code to
make it presentable (it's really just hacked together) and provide
that (probably by individual request rather than putting it on my
web site unless a lot of people want it).
