If you are working with a SparseIntVect, then it is using the integer
version of the tanimoto index.
The function calcVectParams tries to be reasonably efficient, which
ends up making it a bit tricky to wade through. The logic that is used
is the following:

v1Sum = sum(abs(v1[i]))
v2Sum = sum(abs(v2[i]))
andSum = sum(abs(min(vi[i],v2[i])))

Does that help?
