not quite there yet, too much jerkness and some spots where the targets ar 
not reached even if they could.

and yet, accomplished.  looks quite impressive already.  Q - how do you keep
state between frames?  is the animation using the fabrik.inc macros (only)?

Fabrik is only initilised once and 'returns' its own resulting 
datastructure that I use for the new target. Scene below, if you run it 
with the .inc in p.b.scene-files you'll get a better result than in this 
clip as some speed up optimalisations are turned off. Still a few little 
jumps left then.

Oops, PillMann is not in the zip, use SplineMan(S) or StickMan(S) instead,

Improved version, a lot smoother. Fixed some bugs and changed interface to 
the Fabrik macros.

Added the thing to Fossil SCM:
