Function Synopsis

TriConn = faces_connectivity(FV,VERBOSE);

Help Text

FACES_CONNECTIVITY - Generate the connections of faces to a vertex
 function TriConn = faces_connectivity(FV,VERBOSE);
 FV is the standard matlab structure for faces and vertices,
  where FV.faces is m x 3, and FV.vertices is n x 3.

 TriConn returned is vector of cells, one-to-one with each row of FV.vertices.
 TriConn{i} returns a row vector of the face numbers (rows in FV.faces) that
  are connected to the ith vertex row in FV.vertices.

 Thus if we want the faces numbers for a given set of vertices, TriConn{i} will tell
  us which faces to use in for instance a patch command.
