 *
 * Units of measurement: the tiling will be oriented such that
 * horizontal tile edges are possible (and therefore vertical ones are
 * not). Therefore, all x-coordinates will be rational linear
 * combinations of 1 and sqrt(5), and all y-coordinates will be
 * sin(pi/5) times such a rational linear combination. By scaling up
 * appropriately we can turn those rational combinations into
 * _integer_ combinations, so we do. Therefore, w is measured in units
 * of 1/4, and h is measured in units of sin(pi/5)/2, on a scale where
 * a length of 1 corresponds to the legs of the acute isosceles
 * triangles in the tiling (hence, the long edges of P2 kites and
 * darts, or all edges of P3 rhombs).
 *
 * (In case it's useful, the y scale factor sin(pi/5)/2 is an
 * algebraic number. Its minimal polynomial is 256x^4 - 80x^2 + 5.)
 *
 * The 'coords' field of the structure will be filled in with a new
 * dynamically allocated array. Any previous pointer in that field
 * will be overwritten.
