My intention was to create incremental versions later on. Most of these 
allow for incremental versions, so it should not be too hard. Do use the 
test-sequence and check against the listed values so that you know that 
the algorithm does what you think it does. Verify your implementations!

I've implemented the Theo-variants, MTIE and TIErms also. But I have not 
verified them as there is no correct values.

In the process I'e discovered an error in SP1065 relating to Time Total 
Variance (and thus Deviation). The factor of tau^3/3 should be tau^2/3.
The author was unaware of it, confirmed it and forwarded the info such 
that next printing can be correct.

Cheers,
Magnus
