Vector class

[Olivier Lefevre <lefevre@panix.com>]

Having just done quite a bit of coding with Jama, I agree with Jason Liao
that there a need (at least conceptually) for shortcut methods whenever
1-row or 1-column matrices are involved. His poster did not elicit any
comment, however. So what do the Jama authors think? If the answer is "We
are swamped; we have no time", would you welcome code submissions?

OTOH, set() and setMatrix() methods that return the main matrix (instead
of void) and a constructor that builds a matrix around a smaller one (with
the larger one to be padded later using setXXX methods, precisely) would
be nice too.

Generally speaking, I am surprised that there should be so little
activity on this list.
