with respect to the quaternion coordinates.  Or, in other words,
the second derivative of the map from quaternions to 
orthogonal matrices.

New implementation properly handles the two sheets.

Now the TargetSpace test passes again.  Yay!

[[Imported from SVN: r8375]]

The new implementation should take proper care of the two-sheet structure.

I am writing 'should' here: it still fails the test sometimes,
but then the result appears to be close enough to think rounding errors
are responsible.

The new implementation properly handles the double-sheet structure

[[Imported from SVN: r8372]]

don't keep a private implementation of derivativeOfArcCosSquared -- use the one from UnitVector instead

[[Imported from SVN: r8371]]

Properly taking into account the two-sheet covering structure

[[Imported from SVN: r8370]]

[[Imported from SVN: r8368]]

Now it properly handles the situation that p and q may be on
different sheets of the double cover.

This is safer, because calling the constructor implicitly
can lead to unwanted quaternion normalization.
(happened to me...)

Even though multiplication of Rotations is the same thing
as multiplication of Quaternions, in the first case the
output is a Rotation class, and in the second on a Quaternion
class.

Quaternion class to the Rotation class.  Rotation axes and
angles are a genuine rotation concept and don't really
belong into a quaternion implementation.

It makes it difficult to be sure that an explicitly
requested type is really handed over to every place.

While we are at it: reverse the order of the template
parameters.  Now first comes the type, then the dimension.
This is more like FieldVector and friends, and hence
should be less confusing.

fix interpolation-bug when quaternions don't have the same sign. Thanks to Oliver Sander for the patch ;-)

add method to transform an embedded tangent vector into the corresponding SkewMatrix and use this method in the old tangentToSkew method

Add the cayley and inverse cayley mapping. By now these formulas use the matrix representation of a skew matrix/rotation which is not very pretty. I will replace it by a quaternion counterpart when I figured out how to do it properly
