Survex Library Progress

[Philip Schuchardt]

The C++ interface for survex is working.  I want to intergate this code into 
the survex project.  What is the best way to do that?  

To run the test(only under linux):
cmake .
make
./svxTest

Other Build Notes:
There are linking problems between C and C++ under Mac OS X.

Good example on how to use the interface:
svxTest.cxx

Currently supported -
	- Front sights (clino and compass) : degrees only(I think)
	- Back sights (clino and compass) : degrees only(I think)
	- Length
	- Fixed points
	- Plumbs(up and down) for clino and back clino
	- Loop closure

Needs support for-
	- Error handling
	- Loop closure errors

Checkout with svn:
