Comment:

 Latest patch addresses a couple of issues:
  * Box handler previously called up with a pixel (instead of bounds) if
 drag displacement was less than 5 in either dimension.  With this patch,
 the box handler gets a tolerance property.  By default, tolerance is set
 to 5.  The change is that a pixel is substituted if the drag displacement
 is less than the tolerance in both dimensions.  This allows long skinny
 boxes.
  * The select feature control gets a boxTolerance property.  Used in
 conjunction with box true, the boxTolerance is passed as the tolerance of
 the box handler.  The default boxTolerance is -1.  This means that a
 bounds is always returned from the box handler.  If you want to have
 selection when dragging a big box but not when clicking, then you can
 construct a select feature control with some larger boxTolerance.
  * The select feature control only calls bounds.toGeometry once per
 bounds.
