(Technically, `Noise` _may or may not_ be a call to `PortableNoise` - 
that depends on how the binary is compiled, and possibly also the 
features of the CPU it is actually run on. But since it is always a call 
to either that function or an optimized variant that gives the same 
results (the infamous "optimized noise generator"), this distinction is 
only relevant when making changes to the function.)

My, that's some old code there!

`VScale(a,b,c)` was a function that implemented uniform linear scaling 
of a vector back in the days when we used the C-style 3-element array 
type `VECTOR` to store vectors. That type has been superseded by the 
class type `Vector3d`, which provides operator overloading for the same 
purpose, and instead of `VScale(a,b,c)` we would now write `a=b*c`.

(Also, the `Turbulence` function now resides in `noise.cpp`.)
