yes, a vector v represents a direction, so in homogeneous coordinates
v[3] == 0, for a point p (representing a position) p[3] == 1, which is
why the w above is computed differently. This distinction is only
relevant for the 3 component case, when Vec4f or Pnt4f are used the last
component is explicitly given and both should behave the same way.
For the Vec3 case we should probably remove the warning since there is
nothing wrong when the above w == 0. For Pnt3 I'm less sure as it
indicates that the point is transformed to an infinitely far away point
and those can not be represented by Pnt3 (you need a Pnt4 for that).
Cheers,
Carsten
