well -- I've not used it yet ;) just checked it out

ah... right... GUI ;-)

your arguments are well taken -- API change is due ;)

try
grep-dctrl -sPackage -F Build-Depends libkdtree++-dev /var/lib/apt/lists/*_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources       
on a Debian system (package dctrl-tools)

kdtrees + grandma ? wow ;)

nope -- that on average a single query would return 30-100 neighbors out
of those thousands

and there will be probably all those 5000-100000 queries (i.e. I will
need to figure out neighborhoods for each point in original set of
points)

yes... (I should have read in full before starting replying ;))
