Thanks Even!

That's exactly what I was looking for and I just have one question about it.
GDAL documentation states: "Due to imprecision in the calculations the fit
algorithm will often return non-zero rotational coefficients even if given
perfectly non-rotated inputs"

Is there a way to use a more precise algorithm? It's not a requirement by
now since this program is in development but at some point I'll need to
count with the maximum possible precision to make it work in a production
release.
