Actually it IS all super-fast CSG, I'm just implimenting the CSG
in a probably very-inefficient way.  
I also group things with CSG merges so I can keep track of things in
Moray, which can't be helping.  Ah, you can nest groups.  Didn't
know that.  *FIXINNNNGGGGGGG*

I hadn't even been aware you could do such a thing.  How do you
do it in Moray?
