// IntersectXY
//
// Decide if and where the x/y trajectory hits the elliptical cross
// section.
//
// Arguments:
//     p     - (in) Point on trajectory
//     v     - (in) Vector along trajectory
//     s     - (out) Up to two points of intersection, where the
//                   intersection point is p + s*v, and if there are
//                   two intersections, s[0] < s[1]. May be negative.
// Returns:
//     The number of intersections. If 0, the trajectory misses. If 1, the 
//     trajectory just grazes the surface.
//
// Solution:
//     One needs to solve: ( (p.x + s*v.x)/dx )**2  + ( (p.y + s*v.y)/dy )**2 = 1
//
//     The solution is quadratic: a*s**2 + b*s + c = 0
//
//           a = (v.x/dx)**2 + (v.y/dy)**2
//           b = 2*p.x*v.x/dx**2 + 2*p.y*v.y/dy**2
//           c = (p.x/dx)**2 + (p.y/dy)**2 - 1
