Hi Dan, it will take some time ( so it will happen after submission deadline ).
But I will rebuild last year quad based automatic remeshing code by Rohith with most fresh Blender code ( or even with Bmesh ) - so it will be seen if that code could be used as aid tool for you. Possibly will build with optimized libraries ( to reduce lags ) - there are some libs with stated speed up 10-100 times than that which is used in Rohith submission - the problem is - there are quite a lot of libraries ( including blas, lapack etc which are normally fortran code so have to manage fortran compilers, though there are C implementations of the same libs) and current Blender differs quite a bit from a time Ronith submitted code so the build cannot be done quickly and requires some free time which I currently lack, but will have some day. The nice feature of that code - that after you have feature lines ( with your proposed tools ) are rendered - then automatically generated mesh will keep those feature lines intact ( and also will preserve borders ) - so new retopo mesh will easily fit into bigger mesh and retopo of large pieces of mesh ( not only retopo with 4 or so quads per selected 'section') will be also easy and intuitive with your tool. Bmesh, of cause ( with more flexible structures ) , will be of help here too. So if your proposal is accepted, I will make you aware of new builds and you would be able to access if that code could fit into your proposal as underlying 'quad-generation' code over selected feature lines ( taking into account the mesh, of cause ).
