   Code to implement kd tree based nearest neighbour routines in C.
   Based on approach of Press et al Numerical Recipes 3rd ed. 21.2, but 
   re-implemented in vanilla C. Design is based on principles from Press
   et al. but due to licensing, this is a re-write. So results need not
   correspond to Press et al. code in detail (e.g. exactly which point 
   is in which box of tree, and exact indexing details). Efficiency 
   should be same, however.

   R CMD SHLIB kd-tree.c 
   to build.
   dyn.load("kd-tree.so")
   to load into R.

/* 
  kd-tree tasks:
  1. Build and return kd tree.
  2. Find nearest neighbour of points x in given kd tree.
  3. Find k nearest neighbours of points x in given kd tree.
  4. Build kd tree, compute k nearest neighbours for all nodes,
     return these, and optionally tree.
  5. Find all points in given tree within r-ball of each point 
     in x. 


  key routines:
   * kd_tree and free_kdtree for creating and freeing kd trees.
   * closest - find closest point in kd tree to a new point x.
   * k_nn_work finds k nearest neighbours of each node in kd tree
   * k_nn forms kd tree and then obtains k nearest neighbours
  
   * kd_sizes, kd_dump, kd_read are concerned with encoding 
     kd tree in form suitable for storage in R and reading 
     from this format.
 
   needed: 
   * k_closest - find k nearest neighbours in kd tree to points not 
                 in kd tree.
   * r_ball - find points in kd tree within  r-balls around points 
              not in kd tree.

   This works by picking an arbitrary pivot value from x, and arranging

   duplicates are dealt with here by deleting duplicate x values and summing the 
   squared weights for the duplicate set. On exit *n is the number of unique x values.
   idea is that y's at duplicate x values will be averaged before smoothing.
