// fvi functions - fvi stands for Find Vector Intersection
// fvi_a_b - means find the intersection of something of type a with something of type b
// type can be:
// ray:  a line from p0 through p1 extending to inifinity
// segment: a line from p0 stopping at p1
// sphere, point, face

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
// fvi_ray_plane - Finds the point on the specified plane where the 
// infinite ray intersects.
//
// Returns scaled-distance plane is from the ray_origin (t), so
// P = O + t*D, where P is the point of intersection, O is the ray origin,
// and D is the ray's direction.  So 0.0 would mean the intersection is 
// exactly on the ray origin, 1.0 would be on the ray origin plus the ray
// direction vector, anything negative would be behind the ray's origin.
// If you pass a pointer to the new_pnt, this routine will perform the P=
// calculation to calculate the point of intersection and put the result
// in *new_pnt.
//
// If radius is anything other than 0.0, it assumes you want the intersection
// point to be that radius from the plane.
//
// Note that ray_direction doesn't have to be normalized unless you want
// the return value to be in units from the ray origin.
//
// Also note that new_pnt will always be filled in to some valid value,
// even if it is a point at infinity.
//
// If the plane and line are parallel, this will return the largest 
// negative float number possible.
//
// So if you want to check a line segment from p0 to p1, you would pass
// p0 as ray_origin, p1-p0 as the ray_direction, and there would be an
// intersection if the return value is between 0 and 1.
