or merging poly meshes could help you out too.
just merge the object with another object, say a grid of one polygon.
play with the treshold,
at zero, only the points that are perfectly overlapping will get merged.
at higher treshold neighbouring points will get combined.
afterwards just delete the polygon of the grid which you dont need.
if you want you can transfer the UVs from the original object.
probably now someone else is going to say that there is a function somewhere
to access this without doing a merge, but I didnt check.
