To Brian's note about people using Mesh Warp. =  Another example is this silly project I VFX suped, where text = needed to be changed on the big red buttons and exactly match what was = shot.  Initially I started messing around with CC Cylinder and = trying to match it up, match lens distortion, focal length, etc. =  CC Cylinder got complicated and didn't work well for this = application.  

I got them matched perfectly in 2 minutes using Mesh = Warp:
