QIToBDot:

Path: AerospaceUtils/Coord

% Computes the time derivative of a quaternion. 
 The quaternion transforms from the inertial frame to the body frame. 
 Requires the angular velocity measured in the body frame.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   qD                 = QIToBDot( q, w )	
   [a, b, c, d, dqdt] = QIToBDot( q, w )
   [a, b, c, d, dqdt] = QIToBDot( q, w, dT )
