 *@brief
 * Calculates the point that is the minimum distance from all the

 * The method used here is based on:
 
 * An expression for the distance from a point to a plane is:
 * VDOT(pt, plane)-plane[H].
 * Square that distance and sum for all planes to get the "total"
 * distance.
 * For minimum total distance, the partial derivatives of this

 * This produces a set of three equations in three unknowns (x, y, z).
 
 * This routine sets up the three equations as [matrix][pt] = [hpq]
 * and solves by inverting "matrix" into "inverse" and
 * [pt] = [inverse][hpq].
 *
 * There is likely a more economical solution rather than matrix
