I would like to see the wide range of methods to be implemented, but I
have now short term plans to do it myself. But any contributions are
welcome. I tried to make gridding interface simple enough and suitable
for further additions:

It will use the points only, but can be easily extended to handle
polygons and polylines too.  It will collect a list of nodes and use it
in the same way as list of points, so no extra intelligence here. I can
add an option to enable such a behavior.

Best regards,
Andrey
