Legend wrote its own, but it even uses the same code to arrive at
distances between players for making yells and the like "fade" with
distance. Profiling shows it to be higher CPU usage than most other
things in the mud, but overall it was still not really significant.
Legend uses this functionality *a lot*, including for mobs leading
caravans or steering ships from port to port, NPCs hunting down players,
etc.
