I actually think that's the most important thing to have. Without a
"draw curve" tool, the rest of the tools would be unlikely to be used
by anyone.
However, I think the stuff that Tim is doing for tools will end up
helping there.

I think a plugin/modifier would be best here. User select's the CVs
that should have their multiplicity changed, and applies the modifier.
It would have a property/spinner that would control the multiplicity
of the points it affected.

The couple of sections above are an example of how k3d really shines.
Even though its got a lot of unfinished areas, the foundation allows
for so much. It's cool that those things have pretty much already been
supported in the back end.
