//       Class : NurbsMatrixVector
// Description : This encapsulates a series of matrices that are used
//               to represent the sequential segments of a
//               NurbsCurveEvaluator.
//
//               This is not related to NurbsCurve, ClassicNurbsCurve,
//               CubicCurveseg or any of the ParametricCurve-derived
//               objects in this module.  It is a completely parallel
//               implementation of NURBS curves, and will probably
//               eventually replace the whole ParametricCurve class
//               hierarchy.
