Re: spheroids and ellipsoids in FLUKA

At this time, only the prolate ellipsoid is available
in the FLUKA geometry. That is a body which can be obtained
by revolution of an ellipse around its major axis ("cigar" shaped).
Sometimes in the future, we should be able to use any body described
by a second degree equation.
