    *     SV P-code Generator.
    *     Applied Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Austin
    *     August 2003
    *
    *  SVPCodeGen handles the P-code generation for a particular SV.  Each object
    *  is initialized based on the particular satellite (identified by PRN code) 
    *  and the Z-count when generation is to begin.  The Z-count must be an even
    *  four Z-count (six second) interval.  Input values that do not align with four
    *  Z-count boundaries are rounded BACK to the next earliest 4 Z-count boundary.
    *
    *  After initializaiton, P-code is generated in 6-second "chunks".  The chunks
    *  are returned to the caller in CodeBuffer objects.  After each call to
    *  getNextSixSeconds( ), the application shall call increment4ZCounts( ) 
    *  to advance the time by four Z-counts.  This separation between getting the 
    *  bits and advancing the time is purposely done to allow for easier 
    *  coordination when generating code for multiple satellites and performing
    *  other operations on the data after generating the P-code and before moving
    *  on to the next increment.
    *
    *  A key aspect of this class is the use of the X1Sequence and X2Sequence
    *  classes.  Analysis of the P-code generation processes reveals that the 
    *  combined X1A/X1B bit stream repeats every 1.5s (1 Z-count) and is the
    *  same for all satellites.  At the end of 6s (4 Z-counts), the number of 
    *  bits is evenly divisable by 32 (which is the assumed wordsize for the 
    *  applicationn). Therefore, to obtain X1 bits, getNextSixSeconds( ) need only
    *  access the indiviual words from the X1Sequence starting at the beginning
    *  of the array and progressing to the end.  The restriction that the coder
    *  must start on an even 6-second (4 Z-count) epoch and generate intervals of 
    *  six seconds obviates the need to build code to compute bit positions
    *  within X1A cycles or any information on the X1A/X1B relationship.  See
    *  documentation on the class X1Sequence for more information.
    *
    *  The situation with respect to X2A/X2B is somewhat more complicated.  Once
    *  again, the X2A/X2B sequence is only 1.5s long.  However, the X2 sequence is
    *  "slipped" wrt the X1 sequence in two ways: (1.) once per week (at the 
    *  beginning of week), it is slipped by a number of bits corresponding to
    *  the PRN ID, (2.) slipped 37 bits for each X2A cycle.  This
    *  means that it is necessary to keep track of the bit position within the
    *  X2 sequence and "chop out" 32 bits at a time.  See documentation for the
    *  class X2Sequence for more information.
