The Gaussian integers comprise an Euclidean ring; meaning that, the
remainder exists and they have unique factorization.   This requires
using 
u x u* as the norm.  If they are appropriate I could generate an
algorithm.
	I haven't done the complete analysis to see if they meet Ted's
concerns.  I will if there is interest.

Enjoy
Ray
