I was impressed by the structural insight you deployed to come up 
with the simple results when you wrote the cited  note last century, 
even though I have some exposure to 2-D fourier transforms.

 I am as impressed this time, but also sad to realize this culture 
is so far from my grasp.

   Mumbling to myself quietly in my dark cave, I
suppose on sketchy grounds that given a large enough sheet of carbon 
copy paper and a DVM, I expect I could come up with a usable result 
for any Reff(m,n) for m,n small compared with the width of the sheet.....

But wait!  If a double F transform is needed, then a laser diode, a 
transparent filter and a pair of meniscus lenses could also deliver 
the goods, I muse.
 Musique Concrete, so to speak.
