The sbotaohe (smoothing based on the absence of hard edges) is definitely
the way to do (near) perfect smoothing without radically changing the parts
library. I think I can make an algorithm to do this in the near future and
publish it on a website. It could be ready in a few weeks. Pehaps someone
can find a name like POOP, SNOT or BURP for SBOTAOHE.
