;Function: qcompose,v,theta
;
;Purpose: compose quaternions from vectors and angles
;
;Inputs: vec: 3 element array or an Nx3 element array
;        theta: an angle or an N element array of angles(in radians)
;
;Keywords: free: Flag to allow thetas outside [0,pi)
;
;Returns: a 4 element quaternion or an Nx4 element array of quaternions
;
;;Notes: Implementation largely copied from the euve c library for
;quaternions
;Represention has q[0] = scalar component
;                 q[1] = vector x
;                 q[2] = vector y
;                 q[3] = vector z
;
;The vector component of the quaternion can also be thought of as
;an eigenvalue of the rotation the quaterion performs
