Given two triangles in 3D space known to intersect (or at least touch), I
need to find the line segment (or the point) that they touch at in space.

Anyone have an algorithm or reference for that?

If not, how about for a triangle and a plane, the same deal, I know they
touch and want to determine the line segment that represents where they
touch in 3-D space.
