[r-t] New method - Auryn Differential Minor

[Alexander Holroyd]

Hi Eddie,
Yes, I agree - the two "problems" of asymmetry and strange parity 
actuually work together here so that truth is achieved.  I still find it 
miraculous that it all works out though.  (Of course if one considers the 
original description as a differential method it is not miraculous).
