Don't worry too much about making things beautiful. Bad code + good ideas is the combination that works [1]. The thing to think about is what portions of your code are really general purpose math. Most likely kernel regression, polycor, histograms, etc., maybe not so much test scaling for example. Luc may have some good advice having done this already with an space dynamics library (or maybe Luc is so smart that there was no refactoring necessary :) What tends to work best is to bring things in incrementally, talking about the fit and how to integrate.
