cutsim and voronoi code now in their own repos

[andyw]

Hi all,
I've found that the cutting-simulation code as well as the voronoi-diagram code are sufficiently independent to put in their own repositories. So my CAM code is now split into three repos.
https://github.com/aewallin/opencamlib     (cutter projection and other toolpath-generation algorithms)
https://github.com/aewallin/openvoronoi    (voronoi diagram code for 2D operations)
https://github.com/aewallin/cutsim           (cutting-simulation for toolpath verification and visualization)

Users of HeeksCNC were primarily using the drop-cutter and sometimes waterline operations, and they are still in "opencamlib". Voronoi and cutsim are still very experimental and useful only for developers.

My intention is to develop the voronoi-diagram code into something that can be useful for 2D offset generation, pocketing, and maybe V-carving (through straight-skeleton).

The cutting-simulation warrants its own repo since it is closely coupled to an OpenGL-implementation (now QGLWindow from qt4), which opencamlib/voronoi are not.
I've worked a bit with Mark Pictor's cam-occ code [1] that uses the rs274 binary from the emc2-project to parse g-code. This is now in cutsim/src/g2m.
I hope to release an experimental cutting-simulation quite soon - stay tuned...
