GUI complexity

Also e and d can vary between shots -- depends on how sturdy used lens 
is (I suppose that mine smaller zoom lens is not best here). This is not 
a big problem. When images have parallax errors then e and d might tell 
how much there are errors.
How to make GUI that can be fitted to various needs of user? Program 
should have atleast two modes: easy (with some expectations) and 
advanced that supports all modes that PanoTools gives.

This would be good task to implement :)

Optimization result is not always same with control points that have 
type t1 or t2. Atleast t3 changes input parameters and output is not 
same always. Automatic control point adding logick might not add points 
that have type t1 or higher.

Maybe there could be some logic to select good colors depending on 
background image.
