Library and headers for solving the Nearest Neighbor Problem

Neartree is an API and a library for finding nearest neighbors among points in spaces of arbitrary dimensions. This package provides a C++ template, TNear.h, and C library and header files for compiling programs using Neartree.

The library uses the Nearest Neighbor algorithm after Kalantari and McDonald, (IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, v. SE-9, pp. 631-634,1983) modified to use recursion instead of a double-linked tree and simplified so that it does less checking for things like is the distance to the right less than the distance to the left; it was found that these checks make little to no difference.
