The vq tools are not production code and as such are much less
polished than the main libraries.  They work, but they're limited,
buggy and slow.

The basic model of the tools is to take a data file consisting of
vectors of comma seperated scalars, vectors seperated by newlines, and
training/generating codebooks from these vectors using one of a few
different algorithms, mostly varaition of the classic LBG algorithm,
or by just entropy training against a predefined square lattice.
