Control movement of camera.

Collaboration diagram for Camera controller:

CCameraController class Controls the movement of the camera relative to specified targets (positions), while pointing towards the current target. This is done by internally moving the camera along a 3D spline of distance, azimuth and elevation relative to a position. This position is found as a interpolation between the previous and the current target position. This interpolation is done between the start time of the current position and the smallest time interval of the specified interpolation time and the time to the next target.

The target positions are specified by distance, azimuth and elevation, in addition to the time to start following it.
