        Now do the stitching; we can stitch from any level to any level.
        The stitch pattern is like this for each pair of vertices in the lower LOD
        (excuse the poor ascii art):

        lower LOD
        *-----------*
        |\  \ 3 /  /|
        |1\2 \ / 4/5|
        *--*--*--*--*
        higher LOD

        The algorithm is, for each pair of lower LOD vertices:
        1. Iterate over the higher LOD vertices, generating tris connected to the 
        first lower LOD vertex, up to and including 1/2 the span of the lower LOD 
        over the higher LOD (tris 1-2). Skip the first tri if it is on the edge 
        of the tile and that edge is to be stitched itself.
        2. Generate a single tri for the middle using the 2 lower LOD vertices and 
        the middle vertex of the higher LOD (tri 3). 
        3. Iterate over the higher LOD vertices from 1/2 the span of the lower LOD
        to the end, generating tris connected to the second lower LOD vertex 
        (tris 4-5). Skip the last tri if it is on the edge of a tile and that
        edge is to be stitched itself.

        The same algorithm works for all edges of the patch; stitching is done
        clockwise so that the origin and steps used change, but the general
        approach does not.
