Revert Introduction of dead code in PR 81

[jrgnicho]

#81 attempted to address a segfault in the applyEqualDistance function however rather than fixing the bug, a whole new function with the same name was created while the original one was renamed to applyEqualDistance_original and kept around even though it's not being referenced anywhere else in the code. Unless the new function can guarantee the right output (equally distanced points that lie on the actual curve) , my preference would be to fix the original function and remove the new one.
