// CLASS:    MComputation
//
// *****************************************************************************
//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MComputation)
//
// An MComputation allows long computations to check for user interrupts.  It is
// very simple to use.  Create a new MComputation object and call the
// beginComputation method at the beginning of the computation and call
// the endComputation method when you finish.  Then, during the computation,
// use the isInterruptRequested method to check if the user has requested
// that the computation terminate.
// 
// Example:
// 
//     MComputation computation;
//     computation.beginComputation();
//     for (int i= 1; i<1000; i++) {
//         Computation();  // Some expensive operation
//         if  (computation.isInterruptRequested()) break ;
//     }
//     computation.endComputation();			
//
