%QINTERP Interpolate rotations expressed by quaternion objects
%
%	QI = qinterp(Q1, Q2, R)
%
% Return a unit-quaternion that interpolates between Q1 and Q2 as R moves
% from 0 to 1.  This is a spherical linear interpolation (slerp) that can
% be interpretted as interpolation along a great circle arc on a sphere.
%
% If r is a vector, QI, is a cell array of quaternions, each element
% corresponding to sequential elements of R.
