Initialize the variables used for exact arithmetic. 

\begin{DoxyNote}{Note}
`epsilon' is the largest power of two such that 1.\+0 + epsilon = 1.\+0 in floating-\/point arithmetic. `epsilon' bounds the relative roundoff error. It is used for floating-\/point error analysis. `splitter' is used to split floating-\/point numbers into two half-\/ length significands for exact multiplication. I imagine that a highly optimizing compiler might be too smart for its own good, and somehow cause this routine to fail, if it pretends that floating-\/point arithmetic is too much like real arithmetic. Don\textquotesingle{}t change this routine unless you fully understand it.

Approximate 3D orientation test. Nonrobust. 

\begin{DoxyReturn}{Returns}
a positive value if the point pd lies below the plane passing through pa, pb, and pc; \char`\"{}below\char`\"{} is defined so that pa, pb, and pc appear in counterclockwise order when viewed from above the plane. Returns a negative value if pd lies above the plane. Returns zero if the points are coplanar. The result is also a rough approximation of six times the signed volume of the tetrahedron defined by the four points.
