2006 03 11: these new data structs mentioned below are unneccsary
            the math and fiddling to determine the beginning and center positions are unneccsary
            the difference between using R and IJK formats are no problem
            all the work has already been done and exists in th emc2 code ( maybe emc1 I didnt check )
            The absolute position of the arc beginning, center and end are known already
            wether R or IJK used, wether arc or helix, all done already!
            ( well not publicized, but already figgered out! )
            so the rest of these notes really describe what was already done!
            See arc_data_comp_ijk() and arc_data_comp_r(() for the nittygritty
            

Old Notes

to reverse an arc, you need 'prior-knowledge'
specificly 
 the startpoint of the arc, (the beginning position)

and gcode is destination oriented, 
 meaning the gcode for an arc says where to go and where to swing from,
 but not where to start from.

we need the startpoint, and that comes from the 'world-view'
the worldview is contained in an emc structure 'setup' and it's addr is 'setup_pointer'

the contents of the gcode is in an emc structure 'block', and it's addr is 'block_pointer'

the data needed to create the reversed arc are:
 3 points in space              begin ctr end
 1 gcode type			G_02 G_03
 1 'plane' info                 G_17 G_18 G_19

 the ctr and end points are from block_pointer and setup_pointer
  block_pointer will hold the data if it was stated in the text
  else, the coordinates/distances will be 'modal' and in contained in the setup_pointer

where to add the code into emc2

from emctaskmain.cc
			    if (EMC_DEBUG & EMC_DEBUG_INTERP) {
				rcs_print
				    ("emcTaskPlanCommand(%s) called. (line_number=%d)\n",
				     ((char *) &emcStatus->task.command),
				     emcStatus->task.readLine);
			    }
// 2006 03 05
// TJP this is where the gcode has been parsed and is ok
// so here is where to put some debuggin print that shows the correct data needed
//  as proof of concept
// then later the construction of the new reverse path
// then the storing of the string into a file
// then figger how to trigger use of the reverse file
			    // and execute it
			    execRetval = emcTaskPlanExecute(0);
			    if (EMC_DEBUG & EMC_DEBUG_INTERP) {
				rcs_print
				    ("emcTaskPlanExecute(0) return %d\n",
				     execRetval);
