        Good point, and fairly easy to add. Script updated with 
this new feature.

        Hmm... Right now the probability to skip is equal everywhere,
so gaps should happen pretty much equality everywhere. But I guess that 
the "shoving on one side" is due to the fact that two consecutive 
points can be skipped, which skew the web something fierce. I've added
the option -singleskip, which prevents the program to skip
two consecutive points. This should help a little bit.
