PS Tilman - I think we are on the same page about the auto-rasterize, I just suggest -1 instead of max integer. Either would be fine. (and I agree, changing the API footprint should be avoided)
PPS you wouldn't believe how many trees I have killed trying to figure this out... My office looks like 1985 with paper all over my desk.
