	'''Yet another Montage experiment for desktop wallpaper

	This version works with a variant on the "Pseudo-Poisson" dart throwing algorithms
	that were popular in stochastic ray-tracing years ago. It throws darts at a rectangular
	region ensuring that no darts are closer together than a minimum distance. It allows the
	minimum distance to scale down so you can have some big pictues and some smaller pictures.

	The help text was intended to be self explanatory...
