This is a work in progress -- it is not yet feature complete. Current features:
* Collision detection works to build a non-overlapping set of triangles.
* Coplanar triangles will be merged if possible.
* Mountain/valley folds are marked. Dashed line means valley fold.
* Starting face can be selected or randomly chosen; some produce better results than others.
* `stl-convert` script can convert OpenSCAD ASCII STL files into binary STL files for `unfold` to process.
Among the features that it could use:
