I had thought of something like this but I was afraid that the loss of
Curve.java:141-152 would hurt accuracy. I implemented this though, and
testing shows that that's not a problem. This should also double the
performance of the computation since we only run one cubic root finder,
and that was the major bottleneck.
I updated the webrev.

Should I remove some no longer needed methods, like getTCloseTo?

Don't you mean (targetLength - lenAtLastT) * polylen / leaflen?
