//      Approximate nearest neighbor searching by kd-tree search
//              The kd-tree is searched for an approximate nearest neighbor.
//              The point is returned through one of the arguments, and the
//              distance returned is the squared distance to this point.
//
//              The method used for searching the kd-tree is an approximate
//              adaptation of the search algorithm described by Friedman,
//              Bentley, and Finkel, ``An algorithm for finding best matches
//              in logarithmic expected time,'' ACM Transactions on Mathematical
//              Software, 3(3):209-226, 1977).
//
//              The algorithm operates recursively.  When first encountering a
//              node of the kd-tree we first visit the child which is closest to
//              the query point.  On return, we decide whether we want to visit
//              the other child.  If the box containing the other child exceeds
//              1/(1+eps) times the current best distance, then we skip it (since
//              any point found in this child cannot be closer to the query point
//              by more than this factor.)  Otherwise, we visit it recursively.
//              The distance between a box and the query point is computed exactly
//              (not approximated as is often done in kd-tree), using incremental
//              distance updates, as described by Arya and Mount in ``Algorithms
//              for fast vector quantization,'' Proc.  of DCC '93: Data Compression
//              Conference, eds. J. A. Storer and M. Cohn, IEEE Press, 1993,
//              381-390.
//
//              The main entry points is annkSearch() which sets things up and
//              then call the recursive routine ann_search().  This is a recursive
//              routine which performs the processing for one node in the kd-tree.
//              There are two versions of this virtual procedure, one for splitting
//              nodes and one for leaves.  When a splitting node is visited, we
//              determine which child to visit first (the closer one), and visit
//              the other child on return.  When a leaf is visited, we compute
//              the distances to the points in the buckets, and update information
//              on the closest points.
//
//              Some trickery is used to incrementally update the distance from
//              a kd-tree rectangle to the query point.  This comes about from
//              the fact that which each successive split, only one component
//              (along the dimension that is split) of the squared distance to
//              the child rectangle is different from the squared distance to
//              the parent rectangle.

//              To keep argument lists short, a number of global variables
//              are maintained which are common to all the recursive calls.
//              These are given below.
