Did you also look at cua-rect? A great package for dealing with rectangles.
Just for CUA's rectangle mode I tried to switch to cua-mode a while ago. For
those that don't like cua-mode (like me) there's cua-selection-mode which
comes a lot closer to what I want. I wish it'd be possible to use cua-rect
independent from cua.
